Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.6K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Radiation: Applications

1.2K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Emission Spectra02:39

Emission Spectra

59.1K
When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present.

Dual Nature of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation01:10

Dual Nature of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation

2.2K
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation consists of electric and magnetic field components oscillating in planes perpendicular to each other and mutually perpendicular to radiation propagation through space. EM radiation can be classified as a wave, characterized by the properties of waves such as wavelength (denoted as λ) and frequency (represented by ν).
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (the highest point) or troughs (the lowest point) in the wave. Frequency is the...

Carbon-dioxide Fixation01:28

Carbon-dioxide Fixation

54
Carbon dioxide fixation in prokaryotes enables the assimilation of inorganic carbon into organic molecules, supporting biosynthetic pathways, sustaining ecosystems, and contributing to the global carbon cycle. It also has industrial applications in carbon capture and bioproduct synthesis. Autotrophic organisms rely on this process to utilize CO₂ as a carbon source in diverse environments.The Calvin CycleThe Calvin cycle is the most widespread carbon fixation mechanism, primarily used by...

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

Area of Science:

  • Climate Science
  • Environmental Economics
  • Energy Policy

Background:

  • Historical climate change mitigation focused on major economies like the EU, USA, China, and India.
  • A new group of 'emerging emitters' shows rapidly increasing energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
  • This surge in emissions from less-examined countries poses a significant risk to global climate goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze emission trends and drivers in 59 'emerging emitter' countries (excluding China and India) between 2010-2018.
  • To project future emissions from these countries under various energy scenarios.
  • To estimate the economic costs associated with decarbonization pathways in these nations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of emission trends and drivers in 59 countries with above-average global emission growth (2010-2018).
  • Projection of future emissions using multiple long-term energy scenarios.
  • Estimation of decarbonization costs as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Main Results:

  • Total emissions from these emerging emitters can reach 7.5 GtCO2/year in a baseline 2.5°C scenario.
  • These emissions significantly exceed levels projected in previous 1.5°C or 2°C mitigation scenarios.
  • Decarbonization costs in these countries range from 0.2% to 4.1% of GDP.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging emitters represent a critical, yet overlooked, factor in achieving global climate targets.
  • Meeting climate goals necessitates substantial non-emitting energy deployment in these countries and deeper cuts elsewhere.
  • Economic support and low-carbon technology transfer are vital for emerging emitters to mitigate emissions without compromising development goals.
