  • Warming of northern peatlands increases the global temperature overshoot challenge

    Open AccessBiqing Zhu, Chunjing Qiu et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2025

  • The influence of varying atmospheric CO 2 on global warming potentials and carbon emission impulse response functions

    Open AccessAurich Jeltsch‐Thömmes, Qing Sun et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Impulse response functions (IRF), the response in a climate parameter to an emission pulse of CO 2 , are used to characterize Earth system response timescales and to calculate Global Warming Potentials (GWPs). GWPs are widely used to compare emissions of different greenhouse gases and to compute CO 2 equivalent emissions as reported by governments to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The GWP of any gas x is the a…

  • Earth system responses to carbon dioxide removal as exemplified by ocean alkalinity enhancement

    Open AccessAurich Jeltsch‐Thömmes, Giang Tran et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is discussed for offsetting residual greenhouse gas emissions or even reversing climate change. All emissions scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that meet the ‘well below 2 °C’ warming target of the Paris Agreement include CDR. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) may be one possible CDR where the carbon uptake of the ocean is increased by artificial alkalinity addition. Here, we investigate the …

  • Global Carbon Budget 2023

    Open AccessPierre Friedlingstein, Mike O’Sullivan et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2023

    Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the development of climate policies, and project future climate change. Here we describe and synthesize data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertai…

  • Ocean acidification in emission-driven temperature stabilization scenarios

    Open AccessJens Terhaar, Thomas L Frölicher et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Future ocean acidification mainly depends on the continuous ocean uptake of CO 2 from the atmosphere. The trajectory of future atmospheric CO 2 is prescribed in traditional climate projections with Earth system models, leading to a small model spread and apparently low uncertainties for projected acidification, but a large spread in global warming. However, climate policies such as the Paris Agreement define climate targets in terms of global war…

  • Adaptive emission reduction approach to reach any global warming target

    Open AccessJens Terhaar, Thomas L Frölicher et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2022

  • A strong mitigation scenario maintains climate neutrality of northern peatlands

    Open AccessChunjing Qiu, Philippe Ciais et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

  • A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks

    Open AccessHanqin Tian, Rongting Xu et al.ARTICLENature2020

  • The Global Methane Budget 2000–2017

    Open AccessMarielle Saunois, Ann R Stavert et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2020

    Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of CH4 continue to increase, making CH4 the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing, after carbon dioxide (CO2). The relative importance of CH4 compared to CO2 depends on its shorter atmospheric lifetime, stronger warming potential…

  • Hysteresis of the Earth system under positive and negative CO 2 emissions

    Open AccessAurich Jeltsch‐Thömmes, Thomas F Stocker et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere is part of all emission scenarios of the IPCC that limit global warming to below 1.5 °C. Here, we investigate hysteresis characteristics in 4× pre-industrial atmospheric CO2 concentration scenarios with exponentially increasing and decreasing CO2 using the Bern3D-LPX Earth system model of intermediate complexity. The equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and the rate of CDR are systematically varie…

  • Marine N 2 O emissions during a Younger Dryas-like event

    Open AccessFortunat Joos, Gianna Battaglia et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Past variations in atmospheric nitrous oxide (N 2 O) allow important insight into abrupt climate events. Here, we investigate marine N 2 O emissions by forcing the Bern3D Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity with freshwater into the North Atlantic. The model simulates a decrease in marine N 2 O emissions of about 0.8 TgN yr −1 followed by a recovery, in reasonable agreement regarding timing and magnitude with isotope-based reconstruction…

  • Global wetland contribution to 2000–2012 atmospheric methane growth rate dynamics

    Open AccessBenjamin Poulter, Philippe Bousquet et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Increasing atmospheric methane (CH 4 ) concentrations have contributed to approximately 20% of anthropogenic climate change. Despite the importance of CH 4 as a greenhouse gas, its atmospheric growth rate and dynamics over the past two decades, which include a stabilization period (1999–2006), followed by renewed growth starting in 2007, remain poorly understood. We provide an updated estimate of CH 4 emissions from wetlands, the largest natural …

  • Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO 2 emissions scenarios

    Open AccessJean‐pierre Gattuso, J-P Gattuso et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Carbon emissions and their ocean impacts Anthropogenic CO 2 emissions directly affect atmospheric chemistry but also have a strong influence on the oceans. Gattuso et al. review how the physics, chemistry, and ecology of the oceans might be affected based on two CO 2 emission trajectories: one business as usual and one with aggressive reductions. Ocean warming, acidification, sea-level rise, and the expansion of oxygen minimum zones will continue…

  • Carbon dioxide and climate impulse response functions for the computation of greenhouse gas metrics

    Open AccessFortunat Joos, R Roth et al.ARTICLEAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics2013

    The responses of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other climate variables to an emission pulse of CO2 into the atmosphere are often used to compute the Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Global Temperature change Potential (GTP), to characterize the response timescales of Earth System models, and to build reduced-form models. In this carbon cycle-climate model intercomparison project, which spans the full model hierarchy, we quantify responses to emissio…

  • Mid- to Late Holocene climate change

    Open AccessHeinz Wanner, Jürg Beer et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Science Reviews2008

  • Climate and human influences on global biomass burning over the past two millennia

    Open AccessJennifer R Marlon, Patrick J Bartlein et al.ARTICLENature Geoscience2008

  • Climate–Carbon Cycle Feedback Analysis

    Pierre Friedlingstein, Peter M Cox et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2006

    Eleven coupled climate–carbon cycle models used a common protocol to study the coupling between climate change and the carbon cycle. The models were forced by historical emissions and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A2 anthropogenic emissions of CO2 for the 1850–2100 time period. For each model, two simulations were performed in order to isolate the impact of climate change on the …
