TL;DR: It is concluded that development of negative emission technologies should be accelerated, but also that conventional mitigation must remain a substantial part of any climate policy aiming at the 2-°C target.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intercomparison project with Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) undertaken in support of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, results from the fully and biogeochemically coupled simulations in which CO2 increases at a rate of 1% 1/1/yr −1 /1pct CO2 from its preindustrial value are analyzed to quantify the magnitude of carbon-concentration and carbon-climate feedback parameters which measure the response of ocean and terrestrial carbon pools to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the resulting change in global climate, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a range of its outcomes by synthesizing results from the participating global coupled Earth system models for concentration driven simulations, focusing mainly on the analysis of strictly geophysical outcomes: mainly global averages and spatial patterns of change for surface air temperature and precipitation.

TL;DR: The evolution of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) in 30 models of varying complexity is examined under four distinct Representative Concentration Pathways as mentioned in this paper.
