Climate Consequences & Companies to Invest In, Update - Citi 0407.pdf
The graphs above show that proven reserves and especially potential carbon reserves are more than 2-4 times as large as the generally accepted carbon budget to hold global warming even to 3°C.* There is no chance (right) of keeping the probability of warming less than 1.5°C below 20%, and only a modest chance (future burning would be only 40% as much as we've burned already) of keeping it below 50%. Burning all our proven carbon reserves is a recipe warming of well over 5°C, which some call a doomsday scenario.
* [this website’s author’s note: The ability to meet a 3°C target neglects positive feedback effects from albedo changes as sulfates in the air are phased out and as sea ice, snow cover, and ice sheets melt and mostly vanish - except for much of East Antarctica. It must be supplemented by removing most CO2 that humans have put in the air.]

1 Year from Today, We’ll Have Blown the World’s Entire Carbon Budget 0117.rtf - Actually, we blew thru it about 1970. The article’s view of the carbon budget, and future warming, is based on neglecting non-GHG feedbacks and effects. Most notable are albedo (reflectivity) changes from less sulfur, sea ice, snow, clouds, and land ice. Also notable are (1) feedbacksdue to warming from those abedo changes increasing atmospheric levels of H2O, the #1 greenhouse gas, and (2) delayed surface warming as the deep ocean warms over centuries, until equilibrium is re-establlished with the surface and top of the atmosphere. The pre-civilization climate record is clear that these “long-term” effects are large, larger than (about 2 x) the short-term effects from human-emitted greenhouse gases alone.
