Article Synopsis
- * There are big differences in climate risks if we exceed temperature limits versus if we stay within them, including effects on sea levels and ice.
- * To prevent dangerous climate changes, we need to find ways to remove a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but this could be hard and expensive to do, meaning we need to act quickly to cut emissions instead.
Scientifically rigorous guidance to policy makers on mitigation options for meeting the Paris Agreement long-term temperature goal requires an evaluation of long-term global-warming implications of greenhouse gas emissions pathways. Here we employ a uniform and transparent methodology to evaluate Paris Agreement compatibility of influential institutional emission scenarios from the grey literature, including those from Shell, BP, and the International Energy Agency. We compare a selection of these scenarios analysed with this methodology to the Integrated Assessment Model scenarios assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
