A multimodel examination of climate Extremes in an idealized geoengineering experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Temperature and precipitation extremes are examined in the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project experiment G1, wherein an instantaneous quadrupling of CO2 from its preindustrial control value is offset by a ... -
Policy invention and entrepreneurship: Bankrolling the burying of carbon in the EU
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)This article presents the case of a policy invention where various kinds of entrepreneurship and a window of opportunity played important roles. In 2008 the EU adopted a new Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) policy with an ... -
Climate change impacts on crop yield: Evidence from China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)When estimating climate change impact on crop yield, a typical assumption is constant elasticity of yield with respect to a climate variable even though the elasticity may be inconstant. After estimating both constant and ... -
Sustainable development: Our Common Future revisited
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)No clear definition of sustainable development exists to guide politicians in solving challenges at the global or regional levels. Rather, the concept's use has increasingly reflected socially desirable attributes of ... -
COMPARING THE GTAP-MRIO AND WIOD DATABASES FOR CARBON FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We explore two different worldwide multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases (Global Trade Analysis Project-MRIO and World Input–Output Database) for the calculation of the global carbon footprint (CF) of nations. We ... -
Climate impacts of short-lived climate forcers versus CO2 from biodiesel: A case of the EU on-road sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Biofuels are proposed to play an important role in several mitigation strategies to meet future CO2 emission targets for the transport sector but remain controversial due to significant uncertainties in net impacts on ... -
Nasjonale drivkrefter i USAs klimapolitikk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Da Obama overtok som president i 2009, var ett av hovedmålene å styrke amerikansk klimapolitikk. Fem år senere er målet fortsatt ikke blitt realisert. For å forklare denne manglende måloppnåelsen undersøker vi tre forhold: ... -
Counteracting the climate effects of volcanic eruptions using short-lived greenhouse gases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)A large volcanic eruption might constitute a climate emergency, significantly altering global temperature and precipitation for several years. Major future eruptions will occur, but their size or timing cannot be predicted. ... -
Sharing a quota on cumulative carbon emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Any limit on future global warming is associated with a quota on cumulative global CO2 emissions. We translate this global carbon quota to regional and national scales, on a spectrum of sharing principles that extends from ... -
Electricity consumption: should there be a limit? Implications of people’s attitudes for the forming of sustainable energy policies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The aim of this paper is to examine people’s attitudes towards electricity and electricity consumption within the Norwegian market context. The empirical material is based on 18 in-depth interviews and eight focus group ... -
An economic evaluation of solar radiation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Extreme weather, food security and the capacity to adapt – the case of crops in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Three extreme weather scenarios are examined for agriculture in China in this study. One scenario assumes a year when every province has precipitation corresponding to the lowest level experienced in the province over the ... -
The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (GeoMIP6): Simulation design and preliminary results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)We present a suite of new climate model experiment designs for the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). This set of experiments, named GeoMIP6 (to be consistent with the Coupled Model Intercomparison ... -
Standard climate models radiation codes underestimate black carbon radiative forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Radiative forcing (RF) of black carbon (BC) in the atmosphere is estimated using radiative transfer codes of various complexities. Here we show that the two-stream radiative transfer codes used most in climate models give ... -
Radiative forcing bias of simulated surface albedo modifications linked to forest cover changes at northern latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Side-payments: an effective instrument for building climate clubs?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Climate clubs have been suggested as a gateway to substantial reductions in global emissions. The club approach begins with a small number of enthusiastic countries. This paper asks under what conditions such clubs are ... -
How will greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles be constrained in China around 2030?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Increasing emissions from road transportation endanger China’s objective to reduce national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The unconstrained growth of vehicle GHG emissions are mainly caused by the insufficient improvement ... -
Internasjonale klimaforhandlinger: Nøkkelaktører og Norges handlingsrom
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Household Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in China: A decomposition analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Although its per capita carbon emissions are still relatively low, China’s aggregated carbon emissions have grown by nearly 4-fold in the last three decades, and now it is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world. There are ... -
