• Assessment of the Remaining Carbon Budget: A Comparison of a Simple Response Model and the MAGICC Model. 

      Martinsen, Andreas Rostrup (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-15)
      We are changing the global climate by altering the Earths energy balance through the emission of greenhouse gasses. The international community aims to prevent dangerous warming with mitigative efforts. A remaining carbon budget (RCB) can roughly quantify an allowable amount of emissions for keeping the temperature below a set target. We have built a simple climate model using impulse response ...
    • Estimating Remaining Carbon Budgets Using Temperature Responses Informed by CMIP6

      A remaining carbon budget (RCB) estimates how much CO2 we can emit and still reach a specific temperature target. The RCB concept is attractive since it easily communicates to the public and policymakers, but RCBs are also subject to uncertainties. The expected warming levels for a given carbon budget has a wide uncertainty range, which increases with less ambitious targets, i.e., with higher CO2 ...
