• Assessment of the Remaining Carbon Budget: Incorporation of Nonlinear Feedbacks in a Simple Response Model 

      Mentzoni, Endre Falck (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-15)
      Anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases is causing an unbalance in the Earth’s climate system, leading to global climate change. The implications of these changes are dramatic, with a need for a global-scale assessment. The remaining carbon budget (RCB) is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) that can be emitted if we are to reach a specific temperature target. Traditionally, carbon ...
    • 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 ...
