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

The burning of fossil fuels land use
change and other industrial activities
since the industrial revolution have
increased the GHGs in the atmosphere
to such a level that the earthrsquos surface
is heating up to temperatures that are
very destructive to life on earth

-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)
which we may reach not

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
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)

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
What are theyNuclear HydroRenewables (Geothermal Solar

-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)

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)
which we may reach not

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

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)

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

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

The burning of fossil fuels land use
change and other industrial activities
since the industrial revolution have
increased the GHGs in the atmosphere
to such a level that the earthrsquos surface
is heating up to temperatures that are

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)

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

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)

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

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)

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

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

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

-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)
which we may reach not

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
The forest cover is already too small to help reducing global warming
How long does it take to grow a tree like this

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)

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

-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)
which we may reach not

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

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

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

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
