$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', '[')url=http://casaubonsbook.blogspot.com/2007/10/100-emissions-reduction.html]One of the most important studies I've seen, coming out of a major climate change lab whose work has been used in the IPCC and other models was released yesterday. Here's the good news - the Riot for Austerity with its 90% reductions is broadly on track. Here's the bad news - it's goals are 10% too low. The only way of avoiding the critical 2 degree temperature rise is to reduce all industrial emissions worldwide by 100%. Let's repeat that sentence. We're going to see massive warming, flooding, the loss of the polar bears, etc... unless we reduce emissions by 100%.[/url]
Yes, I expected that.
I was wondering why noone up to date had pointed it out.
If it takes about century to clear most of CO2 once released and it is well known that time delay between emissions and GW effect are several decades long then it is the only reasonable conclusion.
There is no way to avoid that 2*C increase at all.
IMO it will be at least 10*C by the end of century.
BTW who cares?
In 2069 I would be 100 years old...
