Probabilistic projections of the future climate for the world and the continental USA
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-09)In this paper, we study possible impacts of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the 21st century climate on the continental USA using the MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) framework. Climate change ... -
Estimating the potential of U.S. urban infrastructure albedo enhancement as climate mitigation in the face of climate variability
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-09)The climate mitigation potential of U.S. urban infrastructure albedo enhancement is explored using multidecadal regional climate simulations. Increasing albedo from 0.2 to 0.4 results in summer daytime surface temperature ... -
A Win-Win Solution to Abate Aviation CO2 Emissions
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-08)We outline a benchmark carbon dioxide (CO2) intensity system with tradable permits for the aviation industry that will incent in-sector emission abatement opportunities that cost less than the social cost of carbon (SCC). ...
