Cumulative carbon emissions, emissions floors and short-term rates of warming: implications for policy
- Abstract:
-
A number of recent studies have found a strong link between peak human-induced global warming and cumulative carbon emissions from the start of the industrial revolution, while the link to emissions over shorter periods or in the years 2020 or 2050 is generally weaker.
