Description:
Higher CO 2 concentrations increase extreme event risk in a 1.5 °C world Higher CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 concentrations increase extreme event risk in a 1.5 °C world, Published online: 11 June 2018; doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0190-1 A 1.5 °C temperature target can have varying atmospheric CO2 concentrations associated with it. GCM simulations reveal CO2 increases have a direct impact on climate extremes, highlighting the need for climate policy to complement temperature goals with CO2 targets.
