Impact of short-lived non-CO2 mitigation on carbon budgets for stabilizing global warming

Impact of short-lived non-CO2 mitigation on carbon budgets for stabilizing global warming

Limiting global warming to any level requires limiting the total amount of CO _2 emissions, or staying within a CO _2 budget. Here we assess how emissions from short-lived non-CO _2 species like methane, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), black-carbon, and sulphates influence these CO _2 budgets. Our defaul...
