Scenarios about 'carbon emissions'
The release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, primarily from burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and land use changes. Carbon emissions are the primary driver of anthropogenic climate change since the Industrial Revolution, with significant impacts on global temperature, weather patterns, and sea levels. Understanding historical emissions patterns is crucial for developing alternate history scenarios involving different energy technologies, policy choices, or environmental awareness timelines.
