The earth still warms by about 2 degrees C, even if we drastically drop our CO2 emissions.
There is a time lag of several decades between the carbon being emitted and the effects on seas, meaning that further acidification and further warming of the oceans are inevitable, even if we drastically reduce emissions very quickly.
The case for fusion energy does not need to be made, however; we cannot burn carbon-based fuels for centuries, and it seems unlikely that solar, wind, tide, and other renewables will get us enough energy, even if we drastically improve our usage efficiency.
As with Adobe Flash's exclusion from the iPhone/iPad/iPod and Apple's failure to support the openly-licensed wmv, it may be a case of Apple doing what suits Apple, even if it drastically reduces the options available to its users.
And if you can find a pocket on your person big enough to accomodate the Ultra it won't feel like a drag, even if it drastically reduces your ability to bend.
Therefore, we added a further sensitivity analysis to show that results are robust even if we drastically reduce the numbers of steps performed in our analysis.
This could occur even if emissions are drastically cut, due to the lag time between emitting greenhouse gases and their visible consequences.
A number of states contend that the revised standards are so strict that even if their counties drastically reduced their own air emissions, pollution from other states, notably power plant pollution that blows long distances, would still push them into violation.
At the same time, determine which aspects no longer work and do away with them — even if that means drastically changing processes and outdated traditions.
Therefore, even if the U.S. drastically cut back on its output of CO2, the overall impact on global temperatures would barely be measurable, perhaps 0.3 of a degree Fahrenheit but probably much less.
That remains the same even if it means drastically overpaying him.
