A human-scale perspective on global warming: Zero emission year and personal quotas - Fig 1

<p>A) Time series of global warming (dashed line) simulated RCP 8.5 scenario by the model CSIRO-Mk3-6-0 of CSIRO. The solid line corresponds to the 30-year moving average, and the year when this time series crosses the 2°C threshold is defined as the zero emission year. B) Example of the frequency distribution of zero emission years for entire set of simulations of the RCP8.5 scenario. The shaded area in light red corresponds to the global climate warming in the RCP8.5 simulations, whereas the lines after 2085 correspond to the individual time series of global warming. C) The time series of cumulative emissions since the pre-industrial era and the definition of the total cumulative emissions required to avoid exceeding the 2°C warming limit for the <i>ZEY</i> of 2042 defined in A).
