  2. IPCC Third Assessment Report - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_Third_Assessment_Report

    The key conclusions of Working Group I [11] were: . An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system (The global average surface temperature has increased over the 20th century by about 0.6 °C; Temperatures have risen during the past four decades in the lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere; Snow cover and ice extent have ...

  3. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Socioeconomic_Pathways

    Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) are climate change scenarios of projected socioeconomic global changes up to 2100 as defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on climate change in 2021. [2] They are used to derive greenhouse gas emissions scenarios with different climate policies.

  4. Representative Concentration Pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative...

    RCP 2.6 is a "very stringent" pathway. [6] According to the IPCC, RCP 2.6 requires that carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions start declining by 2020 and go to zero by 2100.It also requires that methane emissions (CH 4) go to approximately half the CH 4 levels of 2020, and that sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions decline to approximately 10% of those of 1980–1990.

  5. Executive Order 13653 - Wikipedia

    Executive Order 13653, “Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change” was issued by President Barack Obama on November 1, 2013. [1] E.O. 13653 is the Federal Government's response to the rising issue of climate change. It was issued in order to prepare the Nation for the impending impacts on the environment brought by ...

  6. Transient climate response to cumulative carbon emissions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_climate_response...

    ΔT = average global temperature change (°C) E T = cumulative carbon dioxide emissions (Tt C) ΔC A = change in atmospheric carbon (Tt C) and, 1Tt C = 3.7 Tt CO 2. TCRE can also be defined not in terms of temperature response to emitted carbon, but in terms of temperature response to the change in radiative forcing: [10]

  7. DICE model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICE_model

    The Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy model, referred to as the DICE model or Dice model, is a neoclassical integrated assessment model developed by 2018 Nobel Laureate William Nordhaus that integrates in the neoclassical economics, carbon cycle, climate science, and estimated impacts allowing the weighing of subjectively guessed costs and subjectively guessed benefits of taking steps to slow ...

  8. Special Report on Emissions Scenarios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Report_on...

    The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) is a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that was published in 2000. The greenhouse gas emissions scenarios described in the Report have been used to make projections of possible future climate change.

  9. Causes of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_climate_change

    Drivers of climate change from 1850–1900 to 2010–2019. Future global warming potential for long lived drivers like carbon dioxide emissions is not represented. The scientific community has been investigating the causes of climate change for decades.
