New Preprint **Not yet peer-reviewed** How would the climate differ if we exceed a given temperature and then return to it via carbon dioxide removal, versus if we stop emitting CO2 at that temperature and let the climate system evolve over the same length of time?

A Comparison of Regional Climate Changes Under Idealized Zero-Emissions and Exceedance-and-Return Experiments
Abstract. We examine the behavior of ten Earth system models under a set of idealized CO2 emissions-driven simulations to look at regional temperature and precipitation changes in response to either a...
