The Paris Agreement sets a clear target: limit global warming to well below 2˚C and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5˚C. How? Imagine for a moment that the atmosphere is a bathtub filled with CO2. To prevent an overflow of carbon, we must slow the tap (reducing emissions) an...

On the other hand, if we burn through all remaining coal reserves before switching to alternative energy sources, then a far more extreme scenario will result. In one computer simulation of what could follow a 5000 gigaton emission (Figure 3; Schmittneret al. 2008), airborne CO2concentrations ...
they are home to more than 40 percent of the global smallholder farmer population and generate about one metric gigaton of GHG emissions from agriculture.12The results highlight not only areas of commonality across smallholder systems but also the importance of a differentiated approach by country a...
CCUS deployment at the gigaton scale depends on substantially reducing project risk while increasing expectations of financial returns. Gradual upscaling, increased policy support, particularly for demonstrations of the viability of CCUS, while also building a market through carbon pricing would help remedy...
of CO2 via direct air capture. We have to do that for 10 gigatons. So, that would be $6 or $7 trillion per year. In fact, just capturing and sequestering one gigaton is equivalent to running the entire petroleum industry in reverse gear. This effort is going to require a collective ...
my dad asked me how many gigatons make up an atom and i said there is no such thing as a gigaton. and then i went to school and was going to ask my science teacher but he's a jerk so i didn't then i looked on google and found out that there was such thing as a gigaton.....
The trend toward greater electricity consumption, combined with the projected carbon intensity of the national power supply, contributes to the 1.2-gigaton increase in emissions associated with buildings. Important abatement oppor...
