A human-scale perspective on global warming: Zero emission year and personal quotas
Fig 5
A) Curves of personal quotas as a function of the zero emission year. Each curve is associated with one percentage of the ensemble of opportunity defined for the remaining global quota. The red line defines the possible limit defined by the CMIP5 simulation with a larger remaining global quota, and green line the relationship between ZEY and personal quota for the minimum remaining global quota associated with the “well below 2°C” target (T = 594 Gt CO2). B) The frequency distribution of personal quotas obtained by defining a zero emission year of 2050. C) The frequency distribution of the zero emission year obtained by defining a personal quota as 5.0 tons of CO2 yr-1 p-1.
