Air pollution and climate change Short lived climate forcers Øystein Hov
2
Is it useful to control short-lived climate forcers?
3
UNEP and WMO 2011 – Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone: Summary for Decision Makers. Temperature evolution for the scenarios
4
Methane measures suggested to be effective
5
Black Carbon Measures suggested to be effective
6
Global benefits from full implementation of identified measures in 2050/2030 compared to reference scenario UNEP and WMO 2011 – Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone: Summary for Decision Makers.
7
Can we trust in these results? Emission scenario uncertainty? Impact calculation uncertainty Black Carbon forcing range assumed 0.3-0.6 Wm -2 (being on the high side of model results) Estimated RF effect of the CH4 & BC measures O 3 0.18 / CH 4 0.21 / BC 0.14 Wm -2 Only two models used (GISS, ECHAM) and simplified temperature response function
