Now available: a guide to the IPCC's new RCP emissions pathways | Graham Wayne


New PCR

IPCC describes four scenarios of how the world might change in the future, climate research and modeling

When I started looking for a refutation of the myth that the future rise in sea level had been exaggerated for skeptical science, recent work often called "Roads concentration Representative (PCR).

PCR replaced the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) and used in the Working Group I: The Physical Science Basis, the first part of next assessment report of the IPCC Five (AR5) , to be published in mid-September.

Need more information

I searched "summary" practice CPR data, science and development. There was not one. When I discovered what I wanted to hear from the primary literature, I did not realize a practical guide / reference would be a useful thing to have fucked. I suppose you've already guessed what I do next?

PCR are the third generation of scenarios. The first set - IS92 - were published in 1992. In 2000, the second generation - SRES - were released. The latter are currently used PCR.

Like its predecessors, the representative concentration pathways are a set of rules used mainly by climate models. Research is being conducted in many countries, and the PCR provides a common approach, based on an agreement on climate change modeling. The data sets are used to initialize the models that everyone starts from a place everyone can understand, using the values ??everyone knows. PCR reduce duplication and save money, climate modeling is an expensive business. They also provide a way to compare the results and conclusions to communicate easily in a wide range of interests.



So what are the representative concentration pathways? There are four: RCP8.5, RCP6, RCP4.5 and RCP2.6 (the latter also known as RCP3PD, where 'right' means the peak and decline). The numbers refer to the radiative forcing (global imbalances of energy), measured in watts per square meter in 2100.

Each PCR was developed independently by a modeling team whose previous job was a close match starting requirements for new scenarios. To determine the trajectories of emissions and forcing each PCR, review teams of the literature and summarized values ??for a wide range of scientific and socio-economic data, such as population growth, GDP, air pollution, land use and energy sources.

Why do we need new scenarios? One reason is efficiency, PCR allows greater flexibility (and cost reduction) in the modeling process. Perhaps the most important improvement is that unlike SRES, PCR allows teams to test various social initiatives, legislative and other political and economic effects and see results mitigation and adaptation to environment.


variations in socio-economic models are called stories (or stories) and should be a key element of the ongoing research on the best way to fight against climate change at regional and global levels. The IPCC AR5 Group 2, "Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability", published in March 2014 a report on the new "" common socio-economic pathways (SSP).

Climate models are essential and valuable tools. Despite many critics, there were many predictions that the main criticism must be that they are too conservative. Even the early models of gross proved surprisingly accurate, you can read here

Understanding scenarios help us to understand the reasons and the information they produce .. Science Concentration Representative Sceptic Beginner Pathways Guide available as an online resource (also available in PDF). The guide is divided into three parts: In Part 1, we explore the historical background explains why scenarios are needed, and who uses them. Part 2 begins with a review of the application of new scenarios, and describes their development. In Part 3, we examine the scenarios in detail, considering the technical aspects, the differences between the four regional consultative processes, and how they compare to previous SRES scenarios. The public can also use the database CPR, the central resource for data that make up each track.

Roswell UFO incident's anniversary celebrated in Google doodle

generations of UFO enthusiasts believe the case 66 years involving an alien landing outside the city of New Mexico is

last Google doodle celebrates the 66th anniversary of the Roswell incident called

-. This generation of UFO enthusiasts and others believe involving an alien landing outside the town in New Mexico

conspiracy theorists claim that the U.S. military had captured a foreign plane crashed outside of Roswell in July 1947, but insisted that the incident authorities are concerned that the recovery of remains of a top secret surveillance balloon.


The Google doodle is on the wrong side of humor, which allows users to control a little alien animated character as he goes on a series of tasks in a similar landscape in Roswell.

Nicholas Hytner attacks Southbank Centre redevelopment plans

artistic director of the National Theatre says plans neighboring places will be "irreparable harm" to the theater stage

Neighbors

at war, but this time the controversial extension no ordinary conservatory, but in a piece of glass large enough for a symphony orchestra.

one hand, the director of the National Theatre, Sir Nicholas Hytner, has launched a scathing attack on the ? 120m redevelopment plans proposed by the Southbank Centre next, led by artistic director Jude Kelly.

Hytner said operators Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery threaten to launch its theaters in the shade, demolition popular view of the river and, perhaps more significantly, allowing commercial ambitions outweigh compliance of cultural heritage.

Hytner made their concerns over a slow fire to 2,683 words formal objection complains that the plan will hurt the founding values ??of the National Theatre and unneighbourly drive a wedge into the heart of the largest concentration of arts centers the scene in Europe.

The lawsuit was filed this week in the London Borough of Lambeth, who will vote on the project this fall. He says "irreparable harm" will be held in the National Theatre The Grade II * listed buildings designed by Sir Denys Lasdun, and warns that "night vision London firm" across the Thames is threatened. Hytner said National noted with growing concern about the plans, which are topped with a glass box repetition "upscaling and dominant" with a space for a large orchestra and choir. A new building Hytner seems to consider art equivalent center of a leylandii hedge to block out light and spoil the view, he said.

Southbank

Executive Director, Alan Bishop, describes the format of a National "tone quite robust, but that is a normal tone of Nick Hytner," noting that the National Director was invited to several meetings consultation, but did not attend. Hytner says also raised no problems with it before the filing of the complaint, although the National said two board members did. Southbank Centre said in a polite but difficult, challenging directly some of the claims of his neighbor and is committed to moving forward with a plan which he considers vital to the continued success of all arts.

"We have very friendly relations with our neighbors next door, so we were sad that they are so worried," said the bishop. "We are working on this issue very carefully and we know that we can not make everyone happy, but we have 27 million people pass through the site [each year] and we must try to balance the needs of others and those of our neighbors. 're going to hear, but if we continue to do what we proposed in the first place. "

Attack

Hytner said the scale of the building was "not dictated only by the cultural value, but also the business ... So, in fact, the volume of the building which obstructs the view of the National Theatre is largely dictated by the income it generates. "
