Sharing a quota on cumulative carbon emissions (2014, background): “By incorporating such a delay, equation (4) can provide a good representation of the trajectories of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels in the four representative concentration pathway scenarios45 before any introduction of negative emissions (Supplementary Fig.”
The Emissions Gap Report 2012 (2012, background): “Box 3.1 Integrated Assessment Models for Climate Change Assessments al., 2009; Matthews et al., 2009; Meinshausen et al., 2009; Solomon et al., 2009; Zickfeld et al., 2009; Solomon et al., 2010; Bowerman et al., 2011; Smith et al., 2012).”
100% Clean and Renewable Wind, Water, and Sunlight All-Sector Energy Roadmaps for 139 Countries of the World (2017, background): “The global surface temperature change due to greenhouse gases is thought to be linearly proportional to cumulative carbon emissions, regardless of the timing of those emissions (e.g., Allen et al., 2009; Matthews et al., 2009; Meinshausen et al., 2009).”
Tracing anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and cement producers, 1854–2010 (2013, background): “However, current climate change is primarily driven by historic emissions (Allen et al. 2009b; Matthews et al. 2009; Wei et al. 2012; IPCC 2013), and the parties responsible for the dominant sources of historic emissions are not necessarily the same as those responsible for the dominant share of…”
The Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5.0.3) (2019, background): “The transient climate response to cumulative emissions (TCRE) incorporates the transient climate sensitivity together with the carbon sensitivity of the system (Matthews et al., 2009).”
On the spatial economic impact of global warming (2015, positive): “This implies that the model of Allen et al. (2009) and Matthews et al. (2009) is a special case of ours.”
Poorest countries experience earlier anthropogenic emergence of daily temperature extremes (2016, background): “…the near-linear correlation between cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with corresponding global temperature anomalies (Allen et al 2009, Matthews et al 2009, Meinshausen et al 2009) have permitted a more in-depth consideration of how the regional impacts of climate change may respond…”
Allowable CO2 emissions based on regional and impact-related climate targets (2016, background): “(4) It is likely that climate models share common biases for some regional climate phenomena33–36.”
