Other scientists have criticized the planetary boundaries as too generous (for example, allowing too much human appropriation of freshwater flows) or employing the wrong metric (atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rather than cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases).

Although they also show graphically the spread of CO2 concentrations associated with their model runs, they don't report them in a way that allows easy analysis in cumulative emissions terms.

The relationship between cumulative emissions and peak warming allows us to show how delaying mitigation in the short term creates the need for more rapid emission reductions later, in order to stay below a given cumulative emissions limit.

«The BLM's environmental analysis for the March lease sale completely fails to quantify of the very real, direct greenhouse gas emissions that will result from allowing these areas to be drilled and fracked and both analyses fail to quantify cumulative impacts from greenhouse gases.

The purpose of the «social cost of carbon» (SCC) estimates presented here is to allow agencies to incorporate the social benefits of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into cost - benefit analyses of regulatory actions that impact cumulative global emissions.

This linear relationship is a useful insight, because it means that for any target ceiling for temperature rise (e.g. the UN's commitment to not allow warming to rise more than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels), we can easily determine a cumulative emissions budget that corresponds to that temperature.
