Mitigation choices impact carbon budget size compatible with low temperature goals

Mitigation choices impact carbon budget size compatible with low temperature goals

Global-mean temperature increase is roughly proportional to cumulative emissions of carbon-dioxide (CO _2 ). Limiting global warming to any level thus implies a finite CO _2 budget. Due to geophysical uncertainties, the size of such budgets can only be expressed in probabilistic terms and is further...
