The large contribution of projected HFC emissions to future climate forcing.
The consumption and emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are projected to increase substantially in the coming decades in response to regulation of ozone depleting gases under the Montreal Protocol. The projected increases result primarily from sustained growth in demand for refrigeration, air-conditioning (AC) and insulating foam products in developing countries assuming no new regulation of...
متن کاملFuture atmospheric abundances and climate forcings from scenarios of global and regional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are manufactured for use as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances that are being phased out globally under Montreal Protocol regulations. While HFCs do not deplete ozone, many are potent greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Here, new global scenarios show that baseline emissions of HFCs could reach 4.0e5.3 GtCO2-eq yr 1 in 2050. The new baseline (or...

متن کاملPast and Future Climate Forcing
Climate change is again in the news. First the failure of the COP61 meeting to agree on terms for the Kyoto Protocol and now the apparent rejection of the protocol by President Bush leaves the future of climate policy uncertain. To move forward it is important understand the drivers of climate change in order to inform discussions of where mitigation efforts need to be focused. This paper will ...
متن کاملImpacts of Projected Changes of Emissions and Climate on Future U.s. Air Quality
Projected changes in emissions and climate will impact future air quality and related human and environmental health. In this work, an advanced online-coupled meteorology and chemistry model, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem), has been applied to the continental U.S. for current (2001–2010) and future (2046–2055) decades under four emission/ climate scenarios ...
