1 State the primary scientific objective of the Kyoto Protocol. (Be certain to state your source(s)).
1 The primary scientific objective of the Kyoto protocol is to create an equitable and accountable manner of stabilizing human-emitted greenhouse gasses (GHGs) in the atmosphere, by taking into account the differences in nation-states’ wealth, technological capacity, and GHG emissions, among others (Vallero, 2005).
2 Regarding the potential for a ‘COVID-19 anomaly’ at York U in 2021:
2 Based on the calculator here, when does the maximum UV Index value occur?
1 Based on the calculator, the maximum UV Index value occurs during noontime when the sun is vertical.
3 Using Figure 1(b) from the research publication here, estimate the maximum value of the increase in DWSW irradiance at the same date as the UV Index maximum in W/m2.
2 The maximum value of the increase in DWSW at the same date as the UV Index is about .3 W/m2
4 Obtain the EMOS irradiance data corresponding to this same date.
3 State the maximum value of the DWSW irradiance in W/m2.
1 Maximum value of DWSW irradiance in January 2021 is 1.18 W/m2
4 Add the increase in DWSW irradiance from the research publication to your EMOS data to determine the percentage increase. (This is COVID-19 anomaly in terms of DWSW irradiance at EMOS.)
2 After adding the increase in DWSW irradiance from the research publication to the EMOS data, the total amount is 1.48 W/m2
3 Summarize the primary scientific objective of the Paris Agreement. (Be certain to state your source(s)).
5 The primary scientific objective of the Paris Agreement is to make nation-states capable of limiting the global temperature rise by about 2 degrees Celsius relative to the global temperature in the pre-industrial years. Accordingly, the long-term objective of this international agreement is to further reduce this temperature rise by only 1.5 degrees Celsius CITATION Eurnd \l 1033 (European Commission, n.d.).
4 Regarding paleoclimatological data that includes measurements of [CO2] for at least the past 100,000 years.
6 Obtain and identify the source of this data. Share a view of the data in your submission.
