But what happens when we achieve the goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions from human actions? Does the climate keep warming, stay the same, or even cool? It turns out this is a critical question for understanding what carbon budgets we have in terms of emissions, if we seek to meet temperature thresholds like 2 degrees Celsius.

The radiators are, in fact, cooling down, but their stored heat is still warming the air in the room. But that doesn’t mean the planet returns to its preindustrial climate or that we avoid disruptive effects such as sea-level rise. The radiators warm up and heat the air in the room. This is known as committed warming.

If the AMOC weakens, this region will cool. And in fact it is cooling – it’s the only region on Earth which has cooled since preindustrial times. that the sea surface temperature there in winter is a good index of AMOC strength, based on a high-resolution climate model. From Rahmstorf and Ganopolski 1999.

volume mixing ratio), together with a number of trace gases, such as argon (0.93% volume mixing ratio), helium, radiatively active greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (0.035% volume mixing ratio), and ozone. The dry atmosphere consists almost entirely of nitrogen (78.1% volume mixing ratio) and oxygen (20.9%

The AMOC plays a crucial role in regulating global climate patterns and has a significant impact on weather conditions and sea levels along the Atlantic coastlines. It transports warm surface water from the tropics to the North Atlantic, where it cools down and sinks to deeper layers.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans. In addition, ozone depletion higher up in the stratosphere has caused a cooling high up in the atmosphere. This is likely an effect of man-made climate change.

What is the social cost of carbon? SCC is a dollar estimate of the long-term damage caused by emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide in a given year. It captures the changes in mortality rates that are going to happen… the changes in crop yields… the changes in sea level rise, and the damages that will cost…”.
