Have anthropogenic aerosols delayed a greenhouse gas-induced weakening of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation?
[1] In many climate model simulations using realistic, time-varying climate change forcing agents for the 20th and 21st centuries, the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) weakens in the 21st century, with little change in the 20th century. Here we use a comprehensive climate model to explore the impact of various climate change forcing agents on the THC. We conduct ensembles of integr...
متن کاملUncertainties Associated with Quantifying Climate Change Impacts on Human Health: A Case Study for Diarrhea
BACKGROUND Climate change is expected to have large impacts on health at low latitudes where droughts and malnutrition, diarrhea, and malaria are projected to increase. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to indicate a method to assess a range of plausible health impacts of climate change while handling uncertainties in a unambiguous manner. We illustrate this method by quantifyin...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Efficiency in Climate Policy: Applications of FUND
FUND is an integrated assessment model of the interactions between climate and economy. Nine world regions emit greenhouse gases, and suffer damages from climate change. A number of greenhouse gas emission reduction policies are compared, including optimal and cost-effective strategies, strategies with early and late abatement, and strategies with and without international co-operation. The ana...
متن کاملPalaeoclimatic insights into future climate challenges.
Palaeoclimatic data document a sensitive climate system subject to large and perhaps difficult-to-predict abrupt changes. These data suggest that neither the sensitivity nor the variability of the climate are fully captured in some climate-change projections, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Summary for Policymakers. Because larger, faster and less-expected climate c...
متن کاملClimate change: the political situation.
The uncertainties of climate predictions are estimated to be ϳ50%, excluding instabilities of the climate system that could yield substantially larger changes, for example, through the collapse of the Gulf Stream and deep ocean circulation system, a break-off of the West Antarctic ice sheet, or the release of methane presently frozen in permafrost regions. 23. Examples are tradable renewable en...
