Path Independence of Carbon Budgets When Meeting a Stringent Global Mean Temperature Target After an Overshoot

Abstract Emission pathways that are consistent with meeting the Paris Agreement goal of holding global mean temperature rise well below 2 °C often assume a temperature overshoot. In such overshoot scenarios, a given temperature limit is first exceeded and later returned to, under the assumption of l...
