Perceptions of carbon dioxide emission reductions and future warming among climate experts

Author(s): Wynes S; Davis SJ; Dickau M; Ly S; Maibach E; Rogelj J; Zickfeld K; Matthews HD;

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) employs emission scenarios to explore a range of future climate outcomes but refrains from assigning probabilities to individual scenarios. However, IPCC authors have their own views on the likelihood of different climate outcomes, which are valuable to understand because authors possess both expert ins ...

Current global efforts are insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C

Author(s): Matthews HD; Wynes S;

Human activities have caused global temperatures to increase by 1.25°C, and the current emissions trajectory suggests that we will exceed 1.5°C in less than 10 years. Though the growth rate of global carbon dioxide emissions has slowed and many countries have strengthened their emissions targets, current midcentury net zero goals are insufficient to limit ...

A carbon footprint study of the Canadian medical residency interview tour

Author(s): Liang KE; Dawson JQ; Stoian MD; Clark DG; Wynes S; Donner SD;

Background: Each spring, thousands of Canadian medical students travel across the country to interview for residency positions, a process known as the CaRMS tour. Despite the large scale of travel, the CaRMS tour has received little environmental scrutiny. Purpose: To estimate the national carbon footprint of flights associated with the CaRMS tour, as we ...
