Abstract

Recent reports of a lower climate sensitivity to CO2 emissions have been used to suggest that the need for mitigation is not as urgent as previously thought. This Perspective investigates how quickly committed peak warming would increase ifmitigation is delayed. Peak warming is found to increase in line with cumulative CO2 emissions, faster than current observed warming.
