IPPC 1.5°C Report - Models and Senarios Used in the Analysis


  • There are a total of 408 models and scenarios in the data associated with the IPPC 1.5°C Report.
  • Since the analysis is concerned with trying to meet (or exceed) a 1.5°C temperature target, scenarios were eliminated where (1) the atmospheric CO2 exceeded 460 PPM in 2060, (2) the total radiative forcing exceeded 3.5 W/m-2 in 2060, or (3) the radiative forcing from methane exceeded 0.39 W/m-2 in 2060.
  • The table below lists the remaining 118 scenarios.
  • The scenarios that were used to create the formulas have a gray background im the the "Forcing CH4" cell.
  • Cells with orange backgrounds indicate scenarios where the calculated temperature increase in 2060 exceeds the scenarios temperature increase by more than 0.05°C.
  • The formulas are reasonable accurate, but will eventually be revised to include all of the scenarios where the calculated difference is less than 0.10°C.
The data in the table is for the year 2060.
