Not exact matches

A «business - as - usual» climate scenario (RCP8.5) will lead to another 74 centimeters of global average sea - level rise by 2100.

For example, under the «business - as - usual» climate scenario (called RCP8.5 by the UN IPCC, which assumes that emissions continue to grow unabated), there is a 50 per cent chance that local sea - level rise will exceed 22 centimeters at Oslo.

Probability distributions of sea - level change in the year 2100, relative to 2006, in four Scandinavian capitals on the Baltic Sea under the «business - as - usual» (RCP8.5) climate scenario.

To derive the climate projections for this assessment, we employed 20 general circulation models to consider two scenarios of global carbon emissions: one where atmospheric greenhouse gases are stabilized by the end of the century and the other where it grows on its current path (the stabilization [RCP4.5] and business - as - usual [RCP8.5] emission scenarios, respectively).

This analysis considers two plausible greenhouse gas concentration scenarios: a moderate (stabilized) and more severe (business - as - usual) scenario, referred to as RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively.

The projected increase in annual average daily maximum temperature (°F) for each climate division in Montana for the periods 2049 - 2069 and 2070 - 2099 for (A) stabilization (RCP4.5) and (B) business - as - usual (RCP8.5) emission scenarios.

For the «business - as - usual» scenario RCP8.5, the model - mean changes in 2090s (compared to 1990s) for sea surface temperature, sea surface pH, global O2 content and integrated primary productivity amount to +2.73 °C, − 0.33 pH unit, − 3.45 % and − 8.6 %, respectively.

Using the business - as - usual scenario for GHG radiative forcing (RCP8.5) and their novel estimate of Earth's warm - phase climate sensitivity the authors find that the resulting warming during the 21st century overlaps with the upper range of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) climate simulations.

«That result is not sensitive to emissions scenarios, whether we continue to emit CO2 along a business - as - usual trajectory [RCP8.5] or begin to curb emissions [RCP4.5].

I don't know how IPCC got to the CO2 levels by 2095 (1005 ppmv), which it projected in its «business as usual worst case scenario» RCP8.5, but surprisingly the curve follows your exponential formula fairly closely.

These include a «business as usual» or high emissions scenario (RCP8.5; blue), an intermediate emissions scenario (RCP4.5; purple), a scenario where warming is limited to 2C (red), a scenario where warming is limited to 1.5 C (black) and a scenario where warming is limited to 1.5 C but with a temporary temperature overshoot (orange).

The probability of an ice - free Arctic summer from 2020 - 2100 under a range of future scenarios including 1.5 C (black), 1.5 C with temperature overshoot (orange), 2C (red), moderate emissions (RCP4.5; purple) and «business as usual» emissions (RCP8.5; blue).

RCP8.5 is the highest of the emissions scenarios used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and is described in this paper as «business - as - usual».

The scenarios include: «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made («RCP8.5»); «mitigation», which assumes an intermediate level of emissions («RCP4.5») without negative emissions; «carbon dioxide removal» («CDR»), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» («SRM»), which is the same as the CDR pathway, but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Projected global average temperature rise above pre-industrial levels under a range of future scenarios, «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made (RCP8.5); «mitigation», which assumes moderate emissions (RCP4.5) without negative emissions, «carbon dioxide removal» (CDR), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» (SRM), which is the same as the CDR pathway but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C by 2100.

RCP8.5 is the oft - called business - as - usual scenario, in which no strong policy action on climate change is taken.

Neither AR5 nor the paper describing RCP8.5 call it a «business as usual» scenario, because it is not.
