| Long-term consequences of continued carbon dioxide emission to the atmosphere | |
by Ken Caldeira
Continued emissions of carbon dioxide to the
atmosphere will affect climate and ocean chemistry. These consequences can be
anticipated by consideration of basic physical principles, past climates, and
calculations. Emission of 5,000 PgC (= amount of carbon in conventional fossil-fuel
resources) over a few centuries could produce radiative forcing of climate of
about 10 W m-2 which could be expected to produce global mean
warming of ~4 to 12 °C.
