Since 1990 GCI has well-tempered the focus on UNFCCC-Compliance with C&C

CO2 Budget-Emissions:Concentrations:Temperature:Growth_Minus_Climate-Damages

MAIN MESSAGE

Zero Emissions Globally needs to have completed by 2040 or sooner, as the risks
runaway rates of climate change from zeroing emissions later are much too high.

The numeraire of precautionary-policy is constant in time space. It is not money which leads us
into a market-based-framework. For UNFCCC-Compliance a framework-based-market is required.

The IMF warns again that the climate-crisis will collapse the financial system.

"The broad consensus in the literature is that expected damages caused by unmitigated climate change
will be high and the probability of catastrophic tail-risk events is non-negligible."

We now need a War Footing to secure an Alliance for UNFCCC-Compliance

Global emissions zero by 2040 2030

This page is 'work-in-progress'.
It contains full-disclosure of the . . .

• data-sources &
  
  
• calculating methodology behind this animation.
  
  The data comes from GISS which charted temperature rise 1880-2020 giving the initial temperature values in 2020
  
  for the averages 1. Globally 2. over land 3. in the ocean 4. the Arctic & 5. 24-90 degrees North.
  
  The animation shows values 2020 to 2050 & how these will respond in the future . . .
  
  Insurers have advised a Precautionary Policy since COP-6 2000
  
  UNFCCC-Compliance is dependent on and Integrated Precautionary Policy framework
  
  and this is dependent on applying a simple sequence of calcuating in this order: -
  
  1. The Global Carbon Emissions 'Contraction-Budget' size (Integral-Weight, Contraction-Rate, Zero-Date)
  
  2. The Atmospheric CO2 Rise-Response to these, taking account of changes in the airborne fraction of emissions.
  
  3. The Temperature Rise-Reponse to these, taking account as best we can of a range and variety of feedback effects.
  
  4. The rising Damage Costs caused by Temperature-Rise (as both insured and uninsured losses) subtracted from Economic Growth.
  
  
  
  
  
• In other words the primary control factor we still have is sizing the Contraction-Budget.
  
  DATA
  
  
  
  
  
  Global average temperature is misleading. There are differences between averages over land and over ocean.
  There are also differences between averages at the equator and 'colder' latitudes North & South of the Tropics at the equator.
  
  GISS datasets include these too. The global average 24° to 90° North equals the land average globally, as 70% of landmass globally
  is North of the equator. These differences are now reflected in the chart above and will shortly be reflected in the animation.
  
  The animation movie so far is below . . .
  The final version will include commentary & voice-over. .
  
  
  
  

Step One

Calculate weight-range & contraction rates/dates of carbon-emission contraction-integrals in yearly steps between 2020 & 2050.

Here are the slides one-by-one



The rule is halving-the-contraction-rate doubles-the-budget-weight, or halving-the-budget-weight doubles-the-contraction-rate.
In the table below are the numbers that generate the chart above, showing also the annual contraction rates for each budget,
where the annual contraction rate for a global-carbon-contraction-budget (measured in Gt C) starting in: -

2021 that reaches zero by 2030 is minus increments of 10% of the total budget (for those years) each year weighing a total of 72 Gt C;
2031 that reaches zero by 2040 is minus increments of 5% of the total budget (for those years) each year weighing a total of 144 Gt C.

Total-weights dates & rates are shown in the bottom three rows of this table.

Step Two

From 1750 to 2000 the Airborne Fraction of CO2 emissions was almost 'Constant' (CAF) around 43%.
This CAF is also known as the Fraction Retained (43%) i.e. it is cumulative with the balance being
the Fraction Returned (57%) where again it is accumulative (~50:50) in the Land/Ocean Sinks for CO2.

As one Part Per Million by Volume of atmospheric CO2, in carbon weighs 2.13 billion tonnes (Gt C),
calculating weight-range of CO2 concentration deceleration curves (shown below) is consequent on the
carbon-emission contraction-integrals (shown above) between 2020 & 2050 (& reconverting to PPMV).

The whole purpose of doing this is to make clear this 'sink-function' or CO2 relationship and to plot any changes
in the relationship between CO2 Emissions to the atmosphere & accumulations of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Because comparing tonnes of emissions with tonnes of concentrations (in Gt C) is straightforward,
the 'sink-function' (like the plug hole in the bath) is now easily revealed as no longer constant.

The fraction-returned to the sinks is now at around 55% and this decrease results primarily from
the warming and acidfication of the oceans. In the analogy the plug hole is getting blocked.

The fraction-retained in the atmosphere is therefore now around 45% and is projected
to increase as sink-efficiency weakens further.

This has been included here as follows: -

The figures generated here from 2020 to 2050, show the rate of concentration rise
reflecting sinks weakening at 0.167% per annum. So in the projections shown here,
the Fraction Retained and the Fraction Returned are about 50:50 by 2050.

This is a reasonable estimate, in the face of multiple 'known-unknowns'.

However, the most important take-away here is that as CO2 emissions fall, CO2 concentration rise
merely slows. Emissions are like a tap flowing into a bath while concentrations are like the bath itself
while the the flow from the tap slows as emissions fall, the bath continues to rise albeit at a slower rate.

Here are the numbers that generate the chart above.
The rate of sink-weakening - or the slow decrease of the fraction returned versus the increase of the fraction retained - is in column one.

Step Three

The relationship of atmospheric CO2 concentrations to temperature.

Due to multiple known-unknowns & disagreements, measuring this
is not as straightforward as emissions to concentrations.

However, here is defendably straightforward way of dealing handling this.

In 1750 average concentration of atmospheric CO2 was around 280 Parts Per Million by Volume (PPMV) or 594.4 GtC.
In 2020 average concentration of atmospheric CO2 was around 417 PPMV or 882.2 Gt C.

If 280 PPMV in 1750 is taken as 100%, 560 PPMV or 1192.8 Gt C at some hypothetical future point is 200%.
The 417 PPMV recorded now in 2020 has ocurred on accelerating curve to 149% . . .



'Climate Sensitivity' is a temperature measurement, guaged as a response to a doubling of CO2 concentrations.
CO2 doubling is 560 PPMV. In 2015 IPCC noted a range of 'climate sensitivity' estimates between 1.5° to 4.5° C.

Described as a 'consensus of contraversies' they noted that, "No best estimate for equilibrium climate sensitivity
can now be given because of a lack of agreement on values across assessed lines of evidence and studies."

The purpose of this animation is primarily strategy/policy in the light of UNFCCC-Compliance requirements of
its objective of stabilisation and its principles of precaution & equity.

So the GISS data 1880 to 2020 (cited above) is used in the following way: -

Global average CO2 concentrations in 1960 was 310 PPMV as shown
Global average temperature in 1960 was + 0.2° C.

Global average CO2 concentrations in 2020 was 417 PPMV as shown.
Global average temperature in 2020 was + 1.2° C.

In other words, as a simple basis of projecting all these vectors forward until 2050,
these curves for PPMV & T° 1960 to 2020 are shown as the same curve.

Following the GISS data for land average temperature to 2020 shows 1.5° C.
Following the GISS data for ocean average temperature to 2020 shows 0.7° C.

& it is generally accepted that average temperature in the Arctic has been rising
at at least twice the rate of the global average from 1960, thus showing 2.0° C in 2020.

Also there is the reality of 'feedback'. The UKMO which dominated preparations for IPCC AR5
in 2015 claimed all feedbacks were in the HADcrut 4.2 model. This was not true.

While the sign of the feedbacks is now seen to be more positive than negative, the rates at which
this shift is accelerating is unknowable so it is not possible to predict the rate of this acceleration.

Allowing for this 'known-unknown', the feedback-reality is measured in the following way: -

Global Average Temperature Rise without feedbacks 2020 to 2050 is 1.00° C to 2.00° C and
Global Average Temperature Rise with feedbacks 2020 to 2050 is 1.00° C to 2.87° C

Sticking to the differentials shown by GISS in the chart above, temperatures for Land,
Ocean and Arctic Temperature rise 2020 to 2050 are measured proportionate to that.



For that reason the judgement is made that zero emissions globally needs to complete by 2040 or sooner,
as the risks of runaway rates of climate change from zeroing emissions globally later than 2040 are too high.

 

Step Four

The relationship between Global Economic Growth and Climate Caused Damages.

Global Economic Growth is shown at a constant in crease rate of 3%/annum.
Climate Caused Damages are a combination of insured losses at 3%/annum plus
uninsured losses rising at a constant rate of 3%/annum as calculated by Munich Re in 2000.

Twenty years on in 2020 it is already clear that

• annual output emissions are now twice as high
• concentrations are accelerating upwards driving
• temperature rise into an upward acceleration causing
• damages both insured and uninsured into record-rates of increase
  
  Subtracting climate damage-rates from economic growth-rates
  consistent with slower-heavier emission-contraction-rates shows that: -
  
  
• when subtracted from the growth-rate
• the climate-damage-rate overtakes
• the growth-rate minus the damage-rate and that . . . .
  
  in other words the global economy gradually collapses.
  
  

After 30 years the central problem remains 'measuring' the accelerating rates of change that are the result of both knowns & unknowns,
& doing this in a policy-relevant manner for a global strategy of UNFCCC-Compliance.

Here is a heuristic showing renewables replacing zero emissions globally by 2040 facilitated by the Rajan Tax Proposal
