    Your power should be cut off, fucktard.

    Enjoy your candles. For some reason I have probably have 5-6 year's worth of lamps, wicks, and oil.

    Or it's hurricane supplies built up for 40 years.

The fourth one says we'll peak in emissions mid-century and then decline by a combination of technology and behavior.

    I am not an environmental scientist, but I am intensely interested in the subject. I hope I haven't oversimplified the scenarios. Please feel free to correct or supplement anything I wrote. Personally, I believe the Dutch RCP (the fourth one) is most likely. Most of the biggest polluters haven't even started making efforts toward minimizing emissions yet, so we're not even close to reversing it. I don't believe humanity will do nothing (RCP 1), but I also do not believe that we'll just continue to pollute for another 80 years until we find the tapering point (RCPs 2 and 3). I think we will begin to make meaningful adjustments in the next several years and that in several decades we will see a trend reversal. You asked a really good question, so I would love to read your thoughts on it.
    There are four RCPs defined by the IPCC, namely RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5. The numbers refer to the W/m^2 forcing generated by the extra CO2 according to the following formula.

    ΔF = 5.35 x ln C/C0 W/m^2

    where C is the CO2 concentration in parts per million by volume and C0 is the reference concentration. The relationship between CO2 and radiative forcing is a logarithmic one, at concentrations up to several times the current value, and thus increased concentrations have a progressively smaller warming effect.

    Not sure what you mean by the Dutch RCP, can you elaborate? RCP8.5 is often referred to as the business as usual scenario and to all.intents and purposes is an impossible scenario. However alarmists love to.use it to scare the horses, as witnessed by the last National Climate Assessment 2018 which was largely based around that.

    Oh, for fuck sake. You don't even understand the RCPs, yet you challenged me on them. The RCPs define the most likely scenarios that will occur in relation to climate stability, especially considering the actions and/or inactions of humans. RCP 2.6 was developed by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. In my opinion, it is the most likely scenario and since it was developed in the Netherlands, I called it Dutch. If you don't know what you're talking about, step off my dick.

    I'd pegged you as a pretty loathsome character from the start and you've confirmed that estimation in spades. Funnily enough I agree with you regarding RCP2.6, as to it being called Dutch I can't read your mind and wouldn't want to anyway.

    RCPs are concentration pathways used in IPCC AR5. They are pathways for greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations, together with land use change. They are characterised by the radiative forcing produced by the end of the 21st century. Radiative forcing is the extra heat the lower atmosphere will retain as a result of additional greenhouse gases, measured in Watts per square metre (W/m˛).

    It seems to me that you are confusing Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) and Transient Climate Response (TCR) with RCPs, easy mistake for the ignorant to make. You will have to go elsewhere for enlightenment though, as I'm done dealing with arrogant tossers.

    Quick - guess how many computer software companies have failed to this point.

    Guess we should abandon computer software.

    no.....the "subsidy" given the oil and gas industry is that they get to deduct the expenses of researching new wells......the subsidy given solar power and battery driven cars is we give people tax payer money if they buy them.......
