ShareInsensitivity of global warming potentials to carbon dioxide emission scenarios.
Author(s) : CALDEIRA K., KASTING J. F.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The article shows why the global warming potential of CO2 relative to other radiatively active trace gases is nearly independent of the CO2 emission scenario. Thus, the concept of the global warming potential remains useful, despite the nonlinearities in the climate system and uncertainties in future emissions.
