> Are there SRES emissions scenarios that are high in GHG's and low in > aerosols, or vice versa?
I have now found a page in the AR4 report that gives an answer to my own question above: http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/Report/AR4WG1_Ch10.pdf On page 803, there's a good selection of graphs indicating that aerosols are assumed to move in a similar fashion as GHG's. They don't rise as fast, but they show similar behaviour. This leads to the suspicion that pollution control efforts in China and India that sort out the SO2 emissions, but not the CO2 emissions, would lead to an even faster temperature rise than the one predicted by the IPCC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
