Stabilizing Global Temperature Through a Fuzzy Control on CO2 Emissions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, we generated a fuzzy control of carbon emissions that acts increasing or decreasing the representative concentration pathway emissions proposed by the IPCC, in order to obtain a CO2 path that would stabilize the global average surface temperature to a desired level. We used a simple linear climate model that is driven primary by the Carbon emissions. We made simulations under the four RCPs activating the control at different times, which give us a broad knowledge on when is possible to stabilize the temperature, based in the current emissions path. We conclude that taking action earlier (via fuzzy control) will lead not only to reach stabilization, but also, in some cases, to have economic growth allowing to increase emissions at some points in time. Activating the control very late will initiate an oscillation on temperature which will include not only a reduction of emissions but also a necessary anthropogenic net carbon sequestration. This instrument is a common ground where specialists in diverse areas of climate change could contribute in order to set the parameters that we should explore and simulate so that the we can make the best decisions.

Stabilizing climate requires near-zero emissions
[1] Current international climate mitigation efforts aim to stabilize levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, human-induced climate warming will continue for many centuries, even after atmospheric CO2 levels are stabilized. In this paper, we assess the CO2 emissions requirements for global temperature stabilization within the next several centuries, using an Earth system model of...

Introduction: Carbon stored in soils particularly in arid rangelands soils is the most significant carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems. In arid rangelands, Soils have special places in both carbon sequestration and mitigate global warming. Therefore, any small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) leads to a significant impact on the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Studies have shown t...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is an important component in the stability of climate system, and plays a key role in green house effect. In the past few decades, CO2 emissions have increased exponentially. Goodall (2007), in his book mentioned that almost 30 billion tons of CO2 enters the atmosphere as a result of various human activities each year. The effect of the higher concentrations of CO2...

In this paper, we develop a discrete time, state variable feedback control regime to analyze the closed-loop properties associated with stabilizing the global mean surface temperature anomaly at 2oC within a sequential decision making framework made up of 20 year review periods beginning in 2020. The design of the feedback control uses an optimal control approach that minimizes the peak deceler...
متن کاملZero emission targets as long-term global goals for climate protection
Recently, assessments have robustly linked stabilization of global-mean temperature rise to the necessity of limiting the total amount of emitted carbon-dioxide (CO2). Halting global warming thus requires virtually zero annual CO2 emissions at some point. Policymakers have now incorporated this concept in the negotiating text for a new global climate agreement, but confusion remains about conce...
