That 2013 headline resulted from the first effort to quantify emissions from the ‘carbon majors’ —fossil fuel companies and cement manufacturers whose businesses have contributed an outsized amount of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.

What’s most remarkable is that the decision calls for a 45% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions–of not only its own but also those of its customers–within less than a decade. This reports that a net 45% reduction in 2030, relative to 2010, would be consistent with a 50% chance of keeping warming within 1.5°C

Sea level rise is also important in the region, causing saltwater intrusion and salinization. from Chapter 21 of NCA5 Changes like sea level rise are resulting in the loss of culturally significant locations for subsistence harvesting. Other risks include increasing tropical cyclones and sea level rise.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible.

But how was Richard Heede able to calculate that, at the time, 90 companies were responsible for nearly two-thirds of the carbon emissions between 1854 and 2010? His calculations account for emissions from such processes as venting as well as the fact that creating some products, such as steel, can actually store some carbon.

Scientists estimate that emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030, compared with 2010 levels, and from there to net zero emissions by 2050, if the world is to have a good chance of remaining within the 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, and greenhouse gas emissions are still on an upward trend. Are we nearly there?

BLM estimates that the project will produce up to 576 million barrels of oil over its 30-year lifetime, resulting in indirect emissions totaling 239 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) equivalent. Less sea ice also means that bears must swim longer distances, which poses a drowning risk to young cubs. 3 ; Laidre et al.
