An Optimal Solution to Global Warming

How 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...

an investigation of global warming effects on siberian high

. introduction the siberian high (sh) is a quasi-stationary and semi-permanent surface high pressure system residing over the eurasian continent during winter with its climatological–mean central pressure exceeding 1030 hpa. this most important atmospheric center of action controls the climate of a wide area of this continent. the sh forms generally in october mainly in response to strong radia...

Waking up to Global Warming

Global warming

The role of General Circulation Models (GCMs) has become predominantly important as the practical interest in regional impacts from anthropogenic greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) grows. This first report documents the quality of GCMs as a tool for describing and predicting ‘global warming’ and the related geographical pattern of climate change from the CO2 added to Earth’s atmosphere.

An Explanation of Global Warming without Supercomputing

A new analytic solution of the radiative transfer equation is proposed. It is an extension of the semi-gray model developed by Weaver and Ramanathan. We consider the two regions of thermal spectra independently. In the …rst the infrared absorption (or radiation) is only due to water vapor. In the second both water vapor and carbon dioxide are active. The pre-industrial values of the correspondi...
