Refreshm ents will be served.\n\nAbstract\n\nWe argue that the transient climate re sponse (TCR) is the key sensitivity metric for determining the CO2 emissio ns compatible with the 2 degree global warming limit adopted by the UNFCCC . We make new best and upper-bound estimates of the TCR using an emergent relationship between the recent global warming trend and the TCR in the CM IP5 models. The spread between the best and upper-bound estimates is large r than for the CMIP5 models\, a feature held in common with other estimate s using recent observations. We develop a simple method for estimating the CO2 emissions compatible with a given warming. Allowable emissions are sh own to vary more than inversely proportionally to TCR due to the effect of past CO2 emissions and future non-CO2 emissions. We use the method to eva luate a preliminary future global emissions estimate based on summing the national emissions submitted for the upcoming meeting of the UNFCCC.\n DTSTART:20151113T203000Z DTEND:20151113T213000Z LOCATION:Room 934\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Seminar: Dr. Michael Winton URL:/meteo/channels/event/seminar-dr-michael-winton-25 6567 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
