Estimating the near-surface permafrost-carbon feedback on global warming
Thawing of permafrost and the associated release of carbon constitutes a positive feedback in the climate system, elevating the effect of anthropogenic GHG emissions on global-mean temperatures. Multiple factors have hindered the quantification of this feedback, which was not included in climate carbon-cycle models which participated in recent model intercomparisons (such as the Coupled Carbon ...
متن کاملShort Communication Potential Remobilization of Belowground Permafrost Carbon under Future Global Warming
Research on permafrost carbon has dramatically increased in the past few years. A new estimate of 1672 Pg C of belowground organic carbon in the northern circumpolar permafrost region more than doubles the previous value and highlights the potential role of permafrost carbon in the Earth System. Uncertainties in this new estimate remain due to relatively few available pedon data for certain geo...
متن کاملIs global warming harmful to health?
Projections from computer models predict that global warming will expand the incidence and distribution of many serious medical disorders. Global warming, aside from indirectly causing death by drowning or starvation, promotes by various means the emergence, resurgence, and spread of infectious diseases. This article addresses the health effects of global warming and disrupted climate pattern...
متن کاملHow Global is the Solution to Global Warming?
This paper presents efficient CO2 abatement levels for 135 countries and identifies reasons for the absence of worldwide greenhouse gas emission reductions. Based on individual marginal cost and benefit functions for emission abatement we compare the Pareto-optimal Samuelson solution with the Nash equilibrium. We found that the Pareto-optimal solution would require status quo world emissions to...
متن کاملDetection-attribution of global warming at the regional scale: How to deal with precipitation variability?
[1] Given the strong natural variability of precipitation, detection of anthropogenic climate change has been mainly based on surface thermal indicators. It is here argued that precipitation variability, whatever its natural or anthropogenic origin, is likely to affect surface temperature and, thereby, to hamper the detection-attribution of climate change at the regional scale. This issue is il...
