Sentences with phrase «warming emissions allowed»

This large uncertainty makes it difficult for a cautious policy maker to avoid either: (1) allowing warming to exceed the agreed target; or (2) cutting global emissions more than is required to satisfy the agreed target, and their associated societal costs.

The longevity of global warming (Fig. 9) and the implausibility of removing the warming if it is once allowed to penetrate the deep ocean emphasize the urgency of slowing emissions so as to stay close to the 500 GtC target.

This approach is complementary to the approach of estimating cumulative emissions allowed to achieve a given limit on global warming [12].

It also provides cleaner emissions by allowing for quicker warm - up of the catalyst and by stabilizing combustion when the engine is cool.

And if you buy the IPCC's reports (figuratively speaking) the world is only about eight years away from the «deadline» the IPCC has identified for allowing emissions to peak and begin their descent if the world is to stand a 50 - 50 chance of holding global warming to about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit by century's end.

The fact that Christy and Pielke Sr. are scientists allows their skeptical positions on rapid GHG driven global warming to be even harder to deal with when I attempt to inform people that rapid GHG driven global warming is happening and that humans need to act quickly to reduce GHG emissions in order to delay and to reduce the catastrophe that lies ahead due to global warming.

Until now, power plants have been allowed to dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the atmosphere — no rules were in effect that limited their emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming.

We conclude that this scenario offers three attractive characteristics: environmental security, because the global carbon budget is set at a level which keeps global warming below 2 degrees; economic efficiency, because carbon trading allows the reductions to be made for least overall cost; and global social justice, because emission rights are allocated equally to all people.

Detailed studies at the State Hydrology Institute in St. Petersburg allow one to assume that biogenic methane emission in the Russian permafrost zone can not increase by more than 20 %, or at the most 30 %, compared to the current level, which would cause global warming by 0.01 degrees Celsius by 2050.

And according to emissions specialists like the Tyndall Centre's Kevin Anderson (as well as others), so much carbon has been allowed to accumulate in the atmosphere over the past two decades that now our only hope of keeping warming below the internationally agreed - upon target of 2 degrees Celsius is for wealthy countries to cut their emissions by somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 — 10 percent a year.27 The «free» market simply can not accomplish this task.

Maybe you don't know much about the sum of radiative forcings, or findings from paleoclimate, that allow climatologists to calculate that human emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for 100 + % of recent warming, but that doesn't mean nobody does.

Just the opposite, evidence shows that CO2 provides the building block for the terrestrial greenhouse effect, both because it absorbs strongly near the peak emission for Earth, and because it allows Earth to be warm enough to sustain a powerful water vapor greenhouse effect.

In warmer years such as 1998, this outgassing also increases, and that correlation is seen in the data, so you have to allow for that when comparing the increase to emissions.

It adopted a moderate anthro - emissions scenario from AR4 as the AGW input, but set arbitrary constraints on its findings by excluding the greenhouse gas outputs» warming from the assessment of the permafrost's rate of melting, and by assuming that only CO2 was emitted - which allowed the projected future output to be stated in simple carbon tonnage.

Risk of Sudden Catastrophic Warming This concern stems directly from the possibility that the prospect of successful geoengineering would make emissions reductions seem less urgent, allowing more and more carbon dioxide to build up in the atmosphere over the century ahead.

The relationship between cumulative emissions and peak warming allows us to show how delaying mitigation in the short term creates the need for more rapid emission reductions later, in order to stay below a given cumulative emissions limit.

Oh, evil global warming and carbon emissions that allow more vegetation to flourish.

Emissions before 2010 are not allowed to vary across emission pathways, so there can be no contribution to the spread in peak warming from this historical time period.

According to these models our past emissions are already enough to cause global warming to exceed the 0.5 degrees of future warming allowed under the 1.5 degree Paris target.

When you allow for emissions of methane, CFCs, ozone, nitrous oxide and soot — which also warm the atmosphere — the carbon dioxide budget is an even tighter 3,200 billion tonnes, note Pierre Friedlingstein and colleagues in the paper.

Increasing the supply of renewable energy would allow us to replace carbon - intensive energy sources and significantly reduce US global warming emissions.

It has been difficult to explain why the Earth started warming in the 1970's and that lack of explanation has allowed the warmist crowd to convince many people that the CO2 emissions of mankind are the cause.

Previously, power plants were allowed to dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the atmosphere — no rules were in effect that limited their emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming.

Our analysis shows that China's emissions might not peak until 2030, but by then its annual emissions could amount to half of the carbon budget — what is allowed in order to stay within the 2 °C warming target.

This approach allows us to examine what the models say about future warming relative to future emissions, without bringing in any potential model bias simulated over the historical period.

This linear relationship is a useful insight, because it means that for any target ceiling for temperature rise (e.g. the UN's commitment to not allow warming to rise more than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels), we can easily determine a cumulative emissions budget that corresponds to that temperature.

Ironically, these aerosols are also the product of fossil fuel burning and strict regulations were imposed in the developed world on their emissions in the 1960s and 1970s which allowed the warming from carbon dioxide to emerge again.
