In the context of climate change and possible responses to the risk
associated with it, three variables strongly influence the levels
and growth of greenhouse gas emissions: population, income
(measured as per capita gross domestic product GDP]), and intensity
of emissions (measured as tons of greenhouse gas emissions per
million dollars of GDP). (Population) x (per capita GDP) x
(Intensityghg) = Emissionsghg This is the relationship for a given
point in time; over time, any effort to change emissions alters the
exponential rates of change of these variables. This means that the
rates of change of the three left-hand variables, measured in
percentage of annual change, sum to the rate of change of the
right-hand variable, emissions.
