We
consider other
emission metrics, such as the
emissions in year 2020 and 2050, and find that these cause a much wider range of magnitudes of resultant peak warming than metrics based on
cumulative carbon emissions to the time of peak warming.
A number of recent studies have
considered the concept of
cumulative carbon emissions and their relation to peak warming.
