The RCP origin story can help us understand.

RCP起源故事可以帮助我们理解。

Each of the RCP levels projects an estimated average of global warming.

每个 RCP 级别都预测全球暖的估计平均值。

RCP 8.5 with its associated five degrees of warming is truly an apocalyptic scenario.

RCP 8.5 及其相关的五度暖确实是一个世界末日的场景。

And should we still call RCP 8.5 " business as usual? " - You know, RCP 8.5 is very much a world dominated by coal.

我们是否仍应将 RCP 8.5 称为“一切照旧”？ - 你知道，RCP 8.5 是一个以煤炭为主的世界。

In 2015, the Paris Agreement was signed, creating voluntary benchmarks for countries to meet in order to stay well below two degrees of warming, or RCP 2.6.

2015 年，签署《巴黎协》，为各国自愿基准，以将升温幅度控在远低于 2 度或 RCP 2.6 的水平。

Well, in the early 2010s, a set of emissions scenarios called RCPs ranging from very stringent climate policy to no climate policy at all was developed to represent what warming could look like by 2100.

好吧，在 2010 年代初期，开发一组称为 RCP 的排放情景，从非常严格的政策到根本没有政策，以代表到 2100 年暖的情况。

So in the case of RCP 8.5, this means that humans would have emitted enough greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to add an additional 8.5 watts per meter squared of solar radiation to the climate by 2100.

- 因此，就 RCP 8.5 而言，这意味着到 2100 年，人类将向大中排放足够多的温室体，从而为增加每平方米 8.5 瓦的太阳辐射。
