Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) including Carbon dioxide

GHGs are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit

radiation within the thermal infrared range

This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect

The main GHGs in the Earths atmosphere are water vapor carbon dioxide methane

nitrous oxide and ozone

Without GHGs Earths surface would be on average about 33degC colder than at present

-Accelerated Climate Change-Mass extinctions-Ecosystems breakdowns-Large scale discontinuities

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Some say forget about the 2oC The limit is not 400 ppmv CO2

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

Discussion Point 6

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

Discussion Point 6

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

-Accelerated Climate Change-Mass extinctions-Ecosystems breakdowns-Large scale discontinuities

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

Page 6: Should we place a limit on the global CO 2  emissions to ensure sustainable development?

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) including Carbon dioxide

GHGs are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit

radiation within the thermal infrared range

This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect

The main GHGs in the Earths atmosphere are water vapor carbon dioxide methane

nitrous oxide and ozone

Without GHGs Earths surface would be on average about 33degC colder than at present

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources

What are theyNuclear HydroRenewables (Geothermal Solar

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

-Accelerated Climate Change-Mass extinctions-Ecosystems breakdowns-Large scale discontinuities

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

-Accelerated Climate Change-Mass extinctions-Ecosystems breakdowns-Large scale discontinuities

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Some say forget about the 2oC The limit is not 400 ppmv CO2

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

-Accelerated Climate Change-Mass extinctions-Ecosystems breakdowns-Large scale discontinuities

At the rate of 15 ppmv of CO2 increase per year 400 ppmv CO2 will be reached in 2018 and it is probable that the global temperature would go up by 2oC (compare it with the 001oC per decade estimate by WWF)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Some say forget about the 2oC The limit is not 400 ppmv CO2

It is 550 ppmv CO2 (which is nearly twice the pre-industrial value)

Sustainable Limit Calculations

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

Source Graedel TE and Klee RJ 2002 Getting serious about sustainability Env Sci amp Tech 36(4) 523-9

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Calculation of Global Sustainable Limiting Rate of Carbon Dioxide Production

1 Virgin material supply limit To stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentration below approximately 550 ppmv by the year 2100 global anthropogenic emissions must be limited to about 7 to 8 x 1012 kg (= 7 to 8 giga tonnes) of C per year (IPCC 1996)

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

2 Allocation of virgin material Each of the average 75 billion people on the planet over the next 50 years is allocated an equal share of carbon emissions

That is roughly 1 tonne (1000 kg) of C equivalents per person per year

which is roughly 38 tonne of CO2 equivalents per person per year

Discussion Point 6

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources

Discussion Point 6

How to limit the CO2 emissions below the sustainable limit

Take 10 mins

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources

What are theyNuclear HydroRenewables (Geothermal Solar

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

But we replace our forests with cities highways amp golf courses

Emissions Reduction Option 1 Increase the use of carbon sinks (such as forests where 70 of all photosynthesis occurs)

Stop destroying forests and grow more trees

R Shanthini 20 Aug 2010

The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming

How long does it take to grow a tree like this

Emissions Reduction Option 2 Change to non-CO2 emitting energy sources
