2. Climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

   Other approaches to mitigating climate change have a higher level of risk. Scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5 °C typically project the large-scale use of carbon dioxide removal methods over the 21st century. [292] There are concerns, though, about over-reliance on these technologies, and environmental impacts. [293]

3. Drawdown (book) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(book)

   Drawdown (book) Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming is a 2017 book created, written, and edited by Paul Hawken about climate change mitigation. Other writers include Katharine Wilkinson, and the foreword was written by ( hardback edition) Tom Steyer and ( paperback) Prince Charles .

4. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

   Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

5. Global warming potential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential

   The global warming potential (GWP) is defined as an "index measuring the radiative forcing following an emission of a unit mass of a given substance, accumulated over a chosen time horizon, relative to that of the reference substance, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The GWP thus represents the combined effect of the differing times these substances ...

6. Drawdown (climate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(climate)

   Drawdown (climate) Climate drawdown refers to the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline. [ 1] Drawdown is a milestone in reversing climate change and eventually reducing global average temperatures. [ 2] Project Drawdown refers to a nonprofit organization ...

   The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research ( PIK, German: Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung) is a German government-funded research institute addressing crucial scientific questions in the fields of global change, climate impacts, and sustainable development. Ranked among the top environmental think tanks worldwide, [ 2] it is ...

8. Deforestation and climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_and_climate...

   Deforestation and climate change. Deforestation in the tropics – given as the annual average between 2010 and 2014 – was responsible for 2.6 billion tonnes of CO 2 per year. That was 6.5% of global CO 2 emissions. Deforestation is a primary contributor to climate change, [ 1][ 2] and climate change affects the health of forests. [ 3]

9. Climate change scenario - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_scenario

   A short description of the RCPs is as follows: RCP 1.9 is a pathway that limits global warming to below 1.5 °C, the aspirational goal of the Paris Agreement. [27] RCP 2.6 is a very stringent pathway. [27] RCP 3.4 represents an intermediate pathway between the very stringent RCP2.6 and less stringent mitigation efforts associated with RCP4.5. [28]
