Climate response: Why previous warming makes all the difference
Summary
Global temperatures may continue to rise even after human CO₂ emissions stop. The temperature change that follows is known as the zero emissions commitment (ZEC), and it is often assumed to be close to zero. A study led by the Met Office Hadley Center, with co-authors from several institutions including the University of Liverpool, found that the temperature response depends on how much warming has already occurred.
