How dead ends undermine power grid stability (2014, background): “Otherwise, it will converge to a different solution of (1) (2): a non-synchronous limit cycle characterized by”
Limitations of integrated assessment models of climate change (2009, background): “A recent conference was devoted to the implications of “avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system” as a guide to policy-making (Schellnhuber et al. 2006).”
From long-term targets to cumulative emission pathways: Reframing UK climate policy (2008, background): “…Review (DTI, 2006) refer to the evolving science of climate change, particularly informed by research on CO2e concentrations and temperatures presented at a pivotal conference organised by DEFRA at the UK Met Office in 2005 entitled ‘‘Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change’’ (Schellnhuber et al., 2005).”
Climate Change and Human Rights (2008, background): “For these reasons, any sweeping affirmation about the impacts of global warming on people should be taken with caution; nevertheless, severe impacts are to be expected whose general pattern has emerged in recent research (IPCC, 2001; Exeter Conference, 2005).”
The Anthropocene: Are Humans Now Overwhelming the Great Forces of Nature (2007, background): “The ultimate goal is to reduce the human modification of the global environment to avoid dangerous or difficult-to-control levels and rates of change (47), and ultimately to allow the Earth System to function in a pre-Anthropocene way.”
Making things the same: Gases, emission rights and the politics of carbon markets (2009, background): “…not yet know whether the bottom line will be changed to any substantial extent, in particular to an extent sufficient to keep global warming below the threshold (uncertain and fiercely contested, but often taken to be 2oC) beyond which the risk of severe impacts rises sharply (Schellnhuber, 2006).”
