A new study published in Nature identifies relevant factors that affect estimates of remaining carbon budgets, and thereby untangles the differences to make estimates more easily comparable, which will help decision-makers in using them. From a climate policy perspective, the bottom line remains the same: Even if the remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C increases by one-half, there will be only 10 years more time before emissions have to be reduced to net zero.
