Rogelj and Schleussner (2019) (RS19) raise a number of important issues in their critique of the use of warming-equivalent emissions to relate very long-lived (and hence cumulative) climate pollutants (LLCPs) and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), but in the...
Analysis suggests that to limit global temperature rise, we must slash emissions and invest now to protect, manage and restore ecosystems and land for the future.
GWP* was recently proposed1 as a simple metric for calculating warming-equivalent emissions by equating a change in the rate of emission of a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) to a pulse emission of carbon dioxide. Other metrics aiming to account for the...
The European Union is debating whether to include carbon dioxide removal (CDR) as part of its 2030 targets on the road to climate neutrality by 2050. In our view, creating sustainable CDR could allow delivery of negative emissions at scale after 2030.
