Sentences with phrase «total global average warming»
Not exact matches
Three approaches were used to evaluate the outstanding «carbon budget» (the total amount of CO2 emissions compatible with a given global average warming) for 1.5 °C: re-assessing the evidence provided by complex Earth System Models, new experiments with an intermediate - complexity model, and evaluating the implications of current ranges of uncertainty in climate system properties using a simple model.

In accordance with California's Global Warming Solutions Act's (AB32) guidance, the ROW recommends that California allow states or countries that reduce their total emissions from deforestation below an historical average to generate compliance credit in California.
Consider the quasi-official global goal (codified, for example, in the Copenhagen Accord) to hold total planetary warming to 2 °C (Earth surface average) above pre-industrial levels.
Anthropogenic GHG warming is about the Earth's energy balance, and thus, looking at an average global near - surface temperature, or the total ocean heat content can tell us something useful about that energy balance.
If we keep ignoring the IPCC's recommendations then, on average, the total global warming (from preindustrial levels) is headed toward 4 °C (7 °F).
If the total global average temperature (assuming there is such a thing) were falling, CO2 wouldn't be «caus [ing] warming.»
Even if Watts et al are 100 % correct, that only means a downward adjustment in the global average of under 15 % of the total historical warming.
Unfortunately using global average surface air temperatures as a measure of total warming ignores the fact that most of the heat (more than 93 %) goes into our oceans, which continue to warm without any sign of a pause, as you can see below.
This is the total amount of CO2 emissions that we can still emit whilst limiting global average warming to 1.5 C.
If they are the cause of global warming, average nighttime temperatures should increase more than daytime ones — reducing the total daily temperature swing.
