International climate policy architectures: Overview of the EMF 22 International Scenarios
Leon Clarke,Jae Edmonds,Volker Krey,Richard G. Richels,Steven K. Rose,Massimo Tavoni,Massimo Tavoni,Massimo Tavoni +7 more
TL;DR: The EMF 22 International Scenarios as mentioned in this paper were based on the combined implications of three factors integral to international climate negotiations: (1) the long-term climate-related target, expressed in this study in terms of the CO2-equivalent (CO2-e) concentration associated with the GHGs regulated under the Kyoto Protocol, whether or not this target can be temporarily exceeded prior to 2100 ("overshoot") allowing for greater near-term flexibility, and (3) the nature of international participation in emissions mitigation.

Victor Chang,Patricia Baudier,Hui Zhang,Qianwen Xu,Qianwen Xu,Jingqi Zhang,Jingqi Zhang,Mitra Arami +7 more
TL;DR: The impact and revolution of FinTech and Blockchain in the financial industry is described and the main characteristics of such technology are demonstrated and how financial services should respond to this new technology and how to manage knowledge sharing in a more structured way is suggested.

An assessment of CCS costs, barriers and potential
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and review the barriers to CCS development, with a focus on recent cost estimates, and assess the potential of CCS to enable access to fossil fuels without causing dangerous levels of climate change.

Long-Term Multi-Gas Scenarios to Stabilise Radiative Forcing – Exploring Costs and Benefits Within an Integrated Assessment Framework
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of multi-gas mitigation scenarios that aim for stabilisation of greenhouse gas radiative forcing in 2150 at levels from 3.7 to 5.3 W/m2 were presented.
Constraining climate forecasts: The role of prior assumptions
David J. Frame,B. B. B. Booth,J. A. Kettleborough,David A. Stainforth,Jonathan M. Gregory,Jonathan M. Gregory,Matthew Collins,Myles R. Allen +7 more
TL;DR: The authors show that any probabilistic estimate of climate sensitivity, and hence of the risk that a given greenhouse gas stabilisation level might result in a "dangerous" equilibrium warming, is critically dependent on subjective prior assumptions of the investigators, not simply on constraints provided by actual climate observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between climate sensitivity, effective ocean heat capacity and 20th century warming attributed to changes in greenhouse gases is discussed, assuming a uniform initial distribution in sensitivity (red, in feedback strength (blue) and in attributable warming and heat capacity(black).
Probabilistic climate change projections using neural networks
TL;DR: In this article, a neural network based climate model substitute was proposed to increase the efficiency of large climate model ensembles by at least an order of magnitude, using the observed surface warming over the industrial period and estimates of global ocean heat uptake as constraints for the ensemble, this method estimates ranges for climate sensitivity and radiative forcing that are consistent with observations.
Objective estimation of the probability density function for climate sensitivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple climate/ocean model, the observed near-surface temperature record, and a bootstrap technique to objectively estimate the probability density function for ΔT2x.
