Traduction de «carbonizing temperature » (Anglais → Français) :

Light is the primary example for photosynthesis, but temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil temperature control the balance between the net uptake of carbon dioxide and the net release of carbon dioxide.

Question No. 140 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to development of the oil sands, its impacts on the environment and surrounding communities, and the economic effects of these impacts: (a) what, if any, steps has the government taken to establish air emission limits or air quality standards to achieve the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect air quality and human health; (b) what, if any, steps has the government’s sector-by-sector approach taken to regulate carbon emissions in the oil sands to ensure the oil sands industry makes appropriate reductions in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to contribute to Canad ...[+++]a’s GHG emission reduction goal of 17% below the 2005 level; (c) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine the effect of the oil sands expansion on (i) GHG emissions, (ii) Canada’s ability to meet its GHG emission reduction goals, (iii) Canada’s contribution to the goal of staying below a 2°C increase in global average surface temperature, relative to the pre-industrial level, as articulated at the G8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy and at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations through the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009 and the Cancun Agreements in December 2010, (iv) the full suite of sustainability criteria, including environmental, economic and social sustainability, and (v) what were the results of any studies identified in (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv); (d) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine (i) the scope of oil sands expansion if the oil sands sector is not required to deliver its proportional share of GHG reductions, (ii) the impacts such a decision would have on other sectors’ allowable GHG emissions, (iii) whether other sectors of the Canadian economy would have to do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions, (iv) what were the results of any studies identified in (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii); (e) what, if any, studies ...

4. Emphasises that, according to climate science, limiting climate change to an average of 2°C does not guarantee avoiding significant adverse climate impacts, but overshooting 2°C is likely to multiply adverse impacts and increase the likelihood of reaching tipping points where temperature levels begin to force the release of naturally trapped carbon from sinks such as forests and permafrost, and limit the ability of nature to absorb carbon in the oceans;

A. whereas chaotic climate change will result if global temperatures rise by more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, as is attested to, inter alia, by the May 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; whereas drastic cuts in carbon emissions are necessary by 2015 if the rise in global temperatures is to be kept to no more than two degrees Celsius; whereas using energy more efficiently is the most immediate and most cost-effective way of reducing carbon emissions;
