Earths Climate Change

Genesis of GHG crisis and earths climate change

In Brief

The Earth’s atmosphere protects us from the extreme cold of space and helps maintain an average surface temperature of 18°C. However, increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels pose a risk, as reaching 500 ppm could lead to catastrophic temperature rises above 40°C by the turn of the century.
To prevent exceeding the 2.0°C threshold of manageable climate warming, greenhouse gas emission reduction targets must achieve a minimum 60% global reduction by 2050. It is crucial to introduce direct CO2 capture from the air and sustain 90% global carbon emissions reductions to mitigate the impacts of rising temperatures.

The Earth is covered by an Atmospheric Blanket called the ‘Earths Mantel’ which protects us from the harsh -275°C found in space around us. This blanket keeps earth protected and maintains average surface temperature of around 18°C and protects us from extreme cold temperatures. The height of this Earths Mantel is 10,000 Kilometres around the earth. This is also called the Atmosphere of the Earth which mainly consists of Nitrogen and Oxygen and other trace gasses and Water Vapour Clouds, the presence of Carbon Dioxide is what keeps the Atmosphere warm and the average CO² levels historically were as low as 100ppm in 1800 and by 2020 have crossed 400 ppm in case these reach 500 ppm then there would be catastrophic rise in temperatures above 40°C by the turn of the century and will cause a climate devastation.

A coupled atmosphere-ocean-carbon cycle model is used to examine the long term climate implications of various 2050 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. All emission targets considered with less than 60% global reduction by 2050 break the 2.0°C threshold warming this century, a number that some have argued represents an upper bound on manageable climate warming. Even when emissions are stabilized at 90% below present levels at 2050, this 2.0°C threshold is eventually broken. The studied results suggest that if a 2.0°C warming is to be avoided, direct CO2 capture from the air, together with subsequent sequestration, would eventually have to be introduced in addition to sustained 90% global carbon emissions reductions by 2050. The total GHG emissions crossed 40 Billion Tons per year mark in 2021.

The various emissions pathways lead to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at 2050 ranging from 407 ppm in 2020 to 466 ppm , corresponding to warming relative to 1800 of between 1.5°C and 1.8°C. As the 21st century progresses, the atmospheric CO2 levels and warming begin to diverge between emissions scenarios, and by 2100 the range is 394 ppm to 570 ppm, with a warming of between 1.5°C and 3.6°C. None of the emissions trajectories lead to an equilibrium climate and carbon cycle at 2500, although the 90% and 100% emissions reductions have atmospheric CO2 levels which are leveling off.

One of the Pivotal pathways suggested by our Patent is “Zero emission technology for power production using carbon dioxide recycling technology” this is to recycle sequester and convert the Carbon Dioxide from the flue gasses and convert them into a Clean fuel called Di Methyl Ether which is the cleanest liquid fuel to replace Diesel and with 20% CO2 emissions as Diesel and zero particulate emissions. Large Power Plants account for 45% of global GHG emissions.
