Monitoring the global climatic impact of direct heat addition associated with escalating energy use

Abstract

Using Budyko's overall heat-balance equation, we estimate that direct heat addition associated with worldwide energy use in the year 2050 will be responsible for a mean global temperature rise of 0.27 °C at a 20 kwt per capita energy consumption for a world population of ten billion people. The corresponding temperature rise between 15 and 60 °N is estimated to be 0.44 °C. If per capita energy consumption during the year 2050 is reduced to 5 kw, (i.e. about one half of U.S. consumption in the year 1970), the estimated temperature rise for the 15–60 °N latitudinal belt will be about 0.11 °C and therefore still not negligibly small.
