The magnitude of global mean surface temperature (GMST) response to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations is affected by the efficiency of ocean heat uptake, which in turn can be affected by oceanic mesoscal
The Global Temperature change Potential (GTP) is another metric defined as the ratio of change in global mean surface temperature from a substance relative to that from CO2 at a chosen point in time [15]. From:Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews,2020 ...
DICE approximates the damages from climate change, as a proportion of the global economy, according to the damage function shown in Eq. (1). D(T)=φ1T+φ2T2 (1) Where T is the change in global mean surface temperature above the pre-industrial threshold, currently estimated to be ...
The ECS is the most important climatic parameter as it measures the long-term increase in air temperature near the surface that should result from an increase in radiative forcing of approximately 3.8 W/m2, which corresponds to a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration from 280 ppm (which...
Compared to temperature, precipitation is characterized by higher spatial and temporal variability. In 2022, large areas withabove normalprecipitationincluded large parts of Asia, the Maritime Continent, Australia, New Zealand, areas of northern South America, the Caribbean, west Africa, Sudan, coastal...
Hypotheses have been proposed to explain the conundrum. Marine proxies of sea-surface temperatures could be biased towards seasonal temperatures, and thus record orbitally driven changes in the seasonal cycle, while the annual mean temperature change might be small6. The computed mean out of a ...
"The last time global surface temperature was sustained at or above 2.5°C higher than 1850–1900 was over 3 million years ago." IPCC, Climate Change 2021[4] Global warming is caused by a phenomenon known as thegreenhouse effect. A greenhouse (or glasshouse) is good for growing things beca...
In the Achieved Commitments scenario, for example, global energy-related CO2emissions are expected to peak around 2023 and decline by 69 percent to 11 gigatons of CO2(GtCO2) by 2050. Across these scenarios, the global mean surface air temperature (GSAT) is expected to increase by 1.7ºC ...
The aim is to limit the increase of the average global surface temperature to no more than 2C (3.6F) compared with pre-industrial levels, to avoid 'dangerous' climate change. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said the figures showed that green growth is achievable not just for Br...
The quantitative relationship between surface temperature and silicate weathering intensity over large spatio-temporal scales also offers valuable insights into the climate-weathering feedback. To link temperature with weathering-driven CO2consumption using CIA, we first convert the binned MAT–CIA relation ...
