The Kyoto Protocol: CO2 CH4 and climate implications
Open accessAbstract
Kyoto Protocol implications for CO 2, temperature and sea level are examined. Three scenarios for post‐Kyoto emissions reductions are considered. In all cases, the long‐term consequences are small. The limitations specified under the Protocol are interpreted in terms of both CO 2 and CH 4 emissions reductions and a new emissions comparison index, the Forcing Equivalence Index (FEI), is introduced. The use of GWPs to assess CO 2‐equivalence is assessed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
