The chart above is 'carbon-budgeting' from the latest UNEP GAP Report compared with the 'carbon-budgeting' in Plan B.
Carbon budgeting is the amount of carbon we can still burn (and perhaps to some extent offset),
to keep future temperature rise to Paris Agreement (1.5°C to 'Well Below' 2.0°C).
Carbon budgeting is a weight measurement and that means not much (if any) . . .
- Gt C = Billions (Giga) of tonnes of Carbon
- Gt CO2 = Billions (Giga) of tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (the gas)
- That is a conversion ratio of 1 tonne carbon to 3.6667 Tonnes Carbon Dioxide
Its a story that goes back a long way (so there may be some homework here)? . . . .
