Estimating US fossil fuel CO2 emissions from measurements of 14C in atmospheric CO2

June 2021
Sourish Basu, Scott J. Lehman, John B. Miller, Arlyn E. Andrews, Colm Sweeney, Kevin R. Gurney, Xiaomei Xu, John Southon, Pieter P. Tans
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
This article presents an independent method of emissions monitoring based directly on atmospheric observations and the strong fossil fuel CO2 detection capability afforded by precise measurements of 14CO2 in air samples.Read More →

Attributing long-term sea-level rise to Paris Agreement emission pledges

November 2019
Alexander Nauels, Johannes Gütschow, Matthias Mengel, Malte Meinshausen, Peter U. Clark, and Carl-Friedrich Schleussner
PNAS
This study uses GMSLR modeling that can handle emission scenarios flexibly to establish the link between pledged NDC emissions and GMSLR until 2300, thus highlighting the longer-term climate change implications of current climate mitigation efforts.Read More →

This IPCC special report explores the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty. Read More →

Assigning Historic Responsibility for Extreme Weather Events

November 2017
Friederike E. L. Otto, Ragnhild B. Skeie, Jan S. Fuglestvedt, Terje Berntsen, Myles R. Allen
Nature Climate Change
Recent scientific advances make it possible to assign extreme events to human-induced climate change and historical emissions. These developments allow losses and damage associated with such events to be assigned country-level responsibility.Read More →
