Choices• Policy choices (values can not be based on objective ‘scientific’ arguments) :

– Indicator (e.g. temperature increase, radiative forcing, …)– Timeframes– Mixture of greenhouse gases– Attribution method

• Scientific choices– Choice of the dataset on historical emissions– Choice of the representation of the climate system (different

models)

Main objective of paper #1• Summarise the studies and results so far (i.e. the contributions

to the UNFCCC initiated process)

• Present new attribution calculations with non-linear carbon cycle and climate models using non-linear attribution methodologies and updated historical emissions datasets

• Investigate the effect of a range of scientific, methodological and policy-related choices on the attribution, but not the full range by all uncertainties.

1. Indicators

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change

Conclusions• Two main factors:

• Whether a source emitted ‘early’ versus ‘late’• The share of emissions of short-lived / long-lived gases.

• Choosing the right indicator is ultimately a policy choice that also depends on the purpose of use of the results.

• Temperate increase: use evaluation date after the attribution end date

• ‘Backward discounting’ and ‘forward looking’: ‘weighted concentrations’ or ‘integrated temperatures’

• Not ‘backward discounting’: GWP-weighted cumulative emissions could be an option, which is simple and approximately represents the integrated impact on temperature.

2. Timeframe• Start date emissions 1890,

Start-date

• Choosing a shorter time horizon (e.g. 1950 or 1990 instead of 1890) reduces the contributions of OECD90 countries ('early emitters') to

temperature increase.

End-date

• A late end-date increases non-Annex-I contributions, because it gives more weight to their larger future emissions.

• Impact of emissions scenarios (error bars) can be large

Evaluation-date

• A later evaluation-date raises OECD contributions due to: (1) their large share in historical CO2 emissions (long residence time) (2) and their small share of methane emissions (short residence time)

3. Attribution methods

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change

• Normalised marginal method - Attributes responsibility using total sensitivities determined "at the margin".

• Residual (all-but-one) method - Attributes responsibility by leaving out the emissions of each region in turn.

• Time-sliced - determines the effect of emissions from each time as if there were no subsequent emissions.

Page 21: 1 MATCH paper 1: contributions to climate change SB-23 17 May 2006 Niklas Höhne

21

3. Attribution methods

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change

• The Residual method, although simple to implement and explain, can be rejected on scientific grounds (not additive).

• The Normalised marginal and Time-sliced methods are harder to implement and explain. These methods differ in how they treat early vs. late emissions.

Page 22: 1 MATCH paper 1: contributions to climate change SB-23 17 May 2006 Niklas Höhne

22

3. Attribution methods

• The differences between methods are fairly small compared to the effects of many of the other choices already considered.

• Differences between methods are greater for later evaluation date (2100)• In general, the results of the different methods vary most for regions with emissions that differ

most from the average in terms of early versus late emissions, i.e. India and EU.

• Fossil CO2 emissions: small differences in relative attribution• CO2 emissions from land-use changes: differences in estimates leading to large differences.

Data sets need to be compared and improved.• CH4 and N2O: Only one dataset is available (EDGAR)• IVIG Dataset estimate is outside IPCC range; almost zero for DCs in 1980s!

Overall conclusions• Policy choices (values can not be based on

objective ‘scientific’ arguments) :– Indicator important– Timeframes important– Mixture of GHG important– Attribution method less

important

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change

• Scientific choices– Choice of the dataset on historical emissions important– Choice of the representation of the climate system

(different models) less important for relative contr.

Overall conclusions• First summary of the work undertaken so to date

• Not a full assessment of the uncertainty range, but an evaluation of the influence of different policy-related and scientific choices

• The influence of scientific choices is notable. Therefore research is ongoing (see paper #2)

• However, the current work suggests, that the impact of policy choices, such as time horizon of emissions, climate change indicator and greenhouse-gas mix is larger than the impact of scientific uncertainties

• Impact of uncertainties on the relative contributions is smaller than impact of uncertainties on the absolute changes in temperature.

• Research needs: Historical emission datasets

"New science": Perhaps add a few words more about what you have in mind. Incorporate new knowledge, new estimates in the litterature, update models.....?

Aerosol forcing

• Inclusion of SO2 emissions reduces the contributions from ASIA and REF, but the effect disappear when there is a gap between attribution end date and evaluation date.

• Again effect is less less pronounced on longer time scales

Illustrate second half of bullet #1 by including 2050 fig? The point tha the aerosol issue disappers when there is a gap between emiss attribution end date and evaluation date could be important to communicate.
