The 2012 International Energy Agency’sWorld Energy Outlookclearly rang the alarm bells that current world energy policies are inexorably leading the earth to a rise in mean surface temperature of 3.6C, that is, well above the 2C that the IPCC recommends as the safe limit. Energy efficiency w...
The group was selected through targeted invitations to people engaged in research, practical projects, or activism in disability rights in the interface with public health and climate change. Two of the activist participants had different lived experiences of disability. The workshop formed part of a...
land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). However, this experience also tells us that the exact measurement ofcarbon dioxideremovals via LULUCF is fraught with great uncertainty. Furthermore, the forests that have formed the most important sinks to-date are vulnerable to disturbances like heat stress...
The IPCC states (in fact, a dozen times in their third scientific report) that the climate sensitivity is likely to be in the range of ΔTx2= 1.5 to 4.5°K. Below, we'll try to understand where this number comes from, why it is uncertain (at least for IPCC climatologists who rely ...
The UK Government funded the work on the proviso that it delivers policy-relevant knowledge that is also ‘world-leading’, so that it makes an original contribution to science and influences the IPCC process (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2007; see also Shackley, ...
. That the crane and femur were similar was taken as evidence in support of the notion that biological morphology settles upon a form that is optimized to withstand load forces, and that this optimized form is mirrored within the geometry and design of the anthropogenic load-bearing machine. ...
The IPCC also puts it at over 90% that the changes in both CO2 levels and temperature are caused by human activity (which is kind of like saying there’s over a 90% chance that a rain storm has been caused by cloud activity). Now the question becomes—how much does the temperature ne...
The Assessment Reports of the IPCC, for example, calculate that, if the atmosphere is to stay within its current dynamic equilibrium, a concentration of CO2 somewhere between 350 and 450 ppm is all that the natural cycle of CO2 transformation can take. If we exceed this amount, all the ...
I agree, but the IPCC sure seems to know how to predict them 0 Clyde Spencer Reply to Sheri July 13, 2018 7:35 am Furthermore, there could be an increase in both high and low temperatures and not have a change in the arithmetic mean. To better understand what is happening, the...
