Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

The relationship between total accumulated tonne-years and avoided degree-years of warming is an extension of the proportionality of cumulative CO 2 emissions and global temperature change, whereby the slope of the tonne-year : degree-year relationship is equal to the transient climate response to cumulative CO 2 emissions (TCRE). All four simulations presented in Figs 1 and 2 follow the same trajectory, as seen by the overlapping symbols in the lower left section of the plot. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
