orphan date August 2009 Future Climate Engineering Solutions is an international project initiated by The Danish Society of Engineers IDA together with The Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers, The Norwegian Society of Engineers and Technologists NITO and The Association of German Engineers VDI . The purpose of the project is to demonstrate sustainable energy technologies and solutions in order to support national and international efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases GHG . Thirteen associations of engineers from twelve different countries worldwide participate in the Future Climate project. The core of the project is formed by national climate plans developed by the participating associations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC s fourth assessment report 2007 concluded unequivocally that the rise in global temperatures was due to a rise in Greenhouse gas levels caused by manmade activities and waste products. The IPCC s best case scenario estimates that the concentration of CO sub 2 sub equivalents can be stabilised by securing global temperatures to rise below 2 Celsius. The goal of the Future Climate project is to demonstrate climate solutions and technologies that can contribute toward a scenario in which the global temperature does not increase above 2 Celsius. The project aims, through coordinated effort, to participate in the international climate debate in the period up to the COP 15 meeting in 2009 in Copenhagen . The results of the Future Climate Project will be presented at an international conference on 3 4 September 2009 in Copenhagen. This conference will put forward the joint recommendations from the participating organisations addressing the UN , the parties to the Kyoto protocol , and others who will commit themselves to the new climate agreement.

References reflist 2 See also GlobalclimatemodelClimate ensemble global warming Category Numerical climate and weather models ...Parameterization in a Atmospheric model weather or climatemodel within numerical weather prediction refers to the method of replacing processes that are too small scale or complex to be physically represented in the model by a simplified process. This can be contrasted with other processes e.g., large scale flow of the atmosphere that are explicitly resolved within the models. Associated with these parameterizations are various parameters used in the simplified processes. Examples include the descent rate of raindrops, convective clouds, simplifications of the atmospheric radiative transfer on the basis of atmospheric radiative transfer codes , and cloud microphysics . Radiative parameterizations are important to both atmospheric and oceanic modeling alike. Atmospheric emissions from different ... quality .
