  • CMIP6 models agree on similar carbon cycle feedbacks between enhancing terrestrial and marine carbon sinks

    Open AccessHao‐Wei Wey, Yiannis Moustakis et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a crucial component of climate mitigation required to reach international climate targets. However, gaps exist in our understanding of the responses and feedbacks of the Earth system to the deployment of CDR. In this study, we compare two complementary approaches that enhance the terrestrial and marine carbon sinks with afforestation and reforestation (A/R) and ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), respectively, unde…

  • Detecting climate milestones on the path to climate stabilization

    Open AccessAndrew H MacDougall, Joeri Rogelj et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The era of anthropogenic climate change can be described by defined climate milestones. These milestones mark changes in the historic trajectory of change, and include peak greenhouse gas emissions, peak greenhouse gas concentration, deceleration of warming, net-zero emissions, and a transition to global cooling. However, given internal variability in the Earth system and measurement uncertainty, definitively saying that a milestone has passed re…

  • An investigation into linearity with cumulative emissions of the climate and carbon cycle response in HadCM3LC

    Open AccessSpencer Liddicoat, Ben Booth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    We investigate the extent to which global mean temperature, precipitation, and the carbon cycle are constrained by cumulative carbon emissions throughout four experiments with a fully coupled climate-carbon cycle model. The paired experiments adopt contrasting, idealised approaches to climate change mitigation at different action points this century, with total emissions rising to more than two trillion tonnes of carbon (TtC). For each pair, the …

  • How difficult is it to recover from dangerous levels of global warming

    Open AccessJason Lowe, J A Lowe et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    Climate models provide compelling evidence that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at \npresent rates, then key global temperature thresholds (such as the European Union limit of two \ndegrees of warming since pre-industrial times) are very likely to be crossed in the next few \ndecades. However, there is relatively little attention paid to whether, should a dangerous \ntemperature level be exceeded, it is feasible for the global temperature to…
