On the proportionality between global temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions during periods of net negative CO2 emissions

Recent research has demonstrated that global mean surface air warming is approximately proportional to cumulative CO _2 emissions. This proportional relationship has received considerable attention, as it allows one to calculate the cumulative CO _2 emissions (‘carbon budget’) compatible with temper...
