Goals for Today Questions? Discuss papers and other administrative details Finish Discussion of the Problem Tipping Effects Tipping Effects Forests Forests Where do all the GHG’s come from? GHG’s: Types, Warming Potentials, Lifetime Policy Approaches: CC Mitigation and Adaptation

Tipping Effects Major potential tipping points? Arctic Ice Cap? Arctic Ice Cap? Arctic Sea Ice Extent, 2007 Arctic Sea Ice Extent, 2007 Arctic Sea Ice Extent, 2007 Arctic Sea Ice Extent, 2007 Permafrost and Methane Permafrost and Methane AMC (but with opposite impacts) AMC (but with opposite impacts) Glacier melt Glacier melt Forests Forests

Forests What are the climate regulation roles of Forests? Carbon sequestration Carbon sequestration Biodiversity protection Biodiversity protection Temperature regulation Temperature regulation Water…? Water…? Flood moderation/protection Flood moderation/protection

Forests Two kinds of Problems Threaten Forests IAS and Outbreak Species IAS and Outbreak Species Mountain Pine Beetle example Mountain Pine Beetle example Forest Dieback Forest Dieback What is the temperature limit for forests? IUFRO 2009: “carbon-regulating services of forests could be lost entirely under a global warming of 2.5°C or more” Forest defoliation data (ICP) ICP Hungarian example: Beech tree

Global Change in Forest Cover

Atmospheric Lifetime and Global Warming Potentials

How Should we Respond? Climate Change Mitigation? Climate Change Adaptation? Some combination of the two…?

Climate Change Mitigation Stop Using the Stuff Is this possible…? How much do we have to stop using…? How does this affect the daily livelihoods of people? Can it be done…? What are some of the barriers?

Climate Change Adaptation Protect Ourselves and our Environment from the Consequences of Climate Change Is this possible…? What do we need to protect against? How does this affect the daily livelihoods of people? Can it be done…? What are some of the barriers?
