Greenhouse Gas–Induced Changes in Summer Precipitation over Colorado in NARCCAP Regional Climate Models*
Precipitation changes between 32-yr periods in the late twentieth and mid-twenty-first centuries are investigated using regional climatemodel simulations provided by theNorthAmericanRegional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). The simulations generally indicate drier summers in the future over most of Colorado and the border regions of the adjoining states. The decrease in precipitatio...
متن کاملReducing greenhouse gas emissions for climate stabilization: framing regional options.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations will require reduction of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by as much as 80% by 2050. Subnational efforts to cut emissions will inform policy development nationally and globally. We projected GHG mitigation strategies for Minnesota, which has adopted a strategic goal of 80% emiss...
متن کاملChanges in the Arctic Oscillation under increased 1 atmospheric greenhouse gases
13 The Arctic Oscillation (AO) under increased atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases 14 (GHG) was studied by comparing an ensemble of simulations from 13 coupled general circulation 15 models with GHG at the pre-industrial level and at the late 20th century level, for November to 16 March. The change in the linear AO pattern as GHG increased reveals positive sea level pressure 17 (SLP) ...
متن کاملPerceptible changes in regional precipitation in a future climate
[1] Evidence is strong that the changes observed in the Earth’s globally averaged temperature over the past halfcentury are caused to a large degree by human activities. Efforts to document accompanying precipitation changes in observations have met with limited success, and have been primarily focussed on large-scale regions in order to reduce the relative impact of the natural variability of ...
متن کاملPopulation under a Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed commonproperty resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a cap lowers all incomes, a cap induces a negative population externality. The externality is substanti...
