Global indicator updates: Land-Ocean Temperature, Sea Level, CO2 in the Atmosphere and Population

Global indicator updates: Land-Ocean Temperature, Sea Level, CO2 in the Atmosphere and Population

2018

The four global Indicators: Land-Ocean Temperature, Sea Level, CO2 in the Atmosphere and Population have been updated in ‘ClimatePositions (Excel)‘. Combined, the updates resulted in significant increases in national Climate Debts. Land-Ocean Temperature and Sea level due to adjusting the national GDP-Factor, while CO2 in the Atmosphere and Population due to adjusting the global Fossil CO2 Emission Target.

Diagrams with the four global Indicators are shown below [diagram were replaced 15-02-2018].
