Climate policies address emissions of many greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide and various halogen-containing compounds. These are aggregated …

In recent years, international climate policy has increasingly focused on limiting temperature
rise, as opposed to achieving greenhouse-gas-concentration-related objectives. The …

Several methods exist to estimate the cumulative carbon emissions that would keep global
warming to below a given temperature limit. Here we review estimates reported by the IPCC …

Global efforts to mitigate climate change are guided by projections of future temperatures.
But the eventual equilibrium global mean temperature associated with a given stabilization …

As researchers who have published over recent years on the issue of comparing the climate
effects of different greenhouse gases, we would like to highlight a simple innovation that …

Abstract Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) have requested guidance on common greenhouse gas metrics in accounting for …

More than 100 countries have adopted a global warming limit of 2° C or below (relative to
pre-industrial levels) as a guiding principle for mitigation efforts to reduce climate change …

The latest carbon dioxide emissions continue to track the high end of emission scenarios,
making it even less likely global warming will stay below 2° C. A shift to a 2° C pathway …

The atmospheric lifetime and radiative impacts of different climate pollutants can both differ
markedly, so metrics that equate emissions using a single scaling factor, such as the 100 …
