«In a
scenario of zeroed CO2 and sulfate aerosol emissions, whether the warming induced by specified constant concentrations of non-CO2 greenhouse gases could slow the CO2 decline following zero emissions or even reverse this trend and cause CO2 to

-- What's the mean avg growth in global CO2 and CO2e last year and
over the prior ~ 5 years — What's the current global surface temperature anomaly in the last year and in prior ~ 5 years — project that mean avg growth in CO2 / CO2e ppm
increasing at the same rate for another decade, and then to 2050 and to 2075 (or some other set of years)-- then using the best available latest GCM / s (pick and stick) for each year or quarter update and calculate the «likely» global surface temperature anomaly into the out years — all things being equal and not assuming any «fictional»

A closer look at «
Scenario B1» shows that it represents the case where atmospheric CO2 continues to
increase exponentially at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) we have seen since Mauna Loa readings started in 1958 (also the same CAGR we have seen
over the past 5 years), from the value measured in 2005 of 379 ppmv to a projected 580 ppmv in 2100.
The expected
increase in temp in a BAU
scenario will likely go far outside of the bound of variability that we have seen

scenario.

over the next century.
A comparable example is the difference between being able to predict the exact value of the GDP on a given day (something determined largely by unpredictable day - to - day news) and projecting the average

over three decades (plausible estimates of which can be made using
scenarios of long - term economic growth and ongoing innovation).
