This project has found four key results:
A number of recent studies have found a strong link between peak global mean warming and cumulative carbon dioxide emissions. The first part of this new study examines the relative merits of different cumulative emission metrics and compares them with considering […]
The 4th IPCC assessment projected that without further acceleration of the dynamic contribution from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets 21st century sea-level rise will be in the range of approximately 20 to 60cm. They also stated that increases in this dynamic contribution could lead to a […]
This report has been produced by the UK Energy Research Centre‟s Technology and Policy Assessment (TPA) function. The TPA was set up to address key controversies in the energy field through comprehensive assessments of the current state of knowledge. It aims to provide authoritative reports that set […]
Temperature projections are made for the IPCC fifth assessment report (AR5) scenarios, referred to as “Representative Concentration Pathways” (RCPs), using the MAGICC simple climate model.
These RCPs have been chosen to span climate outcomes rather than socioeconomic futures, but are found to closely match key mitigated and non […]
This study includes the progress towards development of a framework which begins by defining a ‘dangerous impact’ and produces a range of global climate change and associated emissions. This reverses the order of the more usual technique and avoids the resulting large uncertainty in the impact. The first […]
