| Zusammenfassung |
| This synthesis discusses the emissions of carbon dioxide
from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production. While much is known about
these emissions, there is still much that is unknown about the details
surrounding these emissions. This synthesis explores our knowledge of these
emissions in terms of why there is concern about them; how they are
calculated; the major global efforts on inventorying them; their global, regional, and national totals at
different spatial and temporal scales; how they are distributed on global
grids (i.e., maps); how they are transported in models; and the
uncertainties associated with these different aspects of the emissions. The
magnitude of emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels has been almost
continuously increasing with time since fossil fuels were first used by
humans. Despite events in some nations specifically designed to reduce
emissions, or which have had emissions reduction as a byproduct of other
events, global total emissions continue their general increase with time.
Global total fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions are known to within 10 %
uncertainty (95 % confidence interval). Uncertainty on individual national
total fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions range from a few percent to more
than 50 %. This manuscript concludes that carbon dioxide emissions from
fossil-fuel combustion continue to increase with time and that while much is
known about the overall characteristics of these emissions, much is still to
be learned about the detailed characteristics of these emissions. |
