Warming proportional to cumulative carbon emissions not explained by heat and carbon sharing mixing processes

Abstract The constant ratio of global warming to cumulative CO2 emissions underpins the use of cumulative emissions budgets as policy tools, and the need to reach net zero CO2 emissions to stabilize global mean temperature. Several studies have argued that this property arises because heat and carbo...
