Choices
• Policy choices (values can not be based on objective ‘scientific’
arguments) :
– Indicator (e.g. temperature increase, radiative
forcing, …)
– Timeframes
– Mixture of greenhouse gases
– Attribution method
• Scientific choices
– Choice of the dataset on historical emissions
– Choice of the representation of the climate
system (different models)
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change

Main objective of paper #1
• Summarise the studies and results so far (i.e. the
contributions to the UNFCCC initiated process)
• Present new attribution calculations with non-linear
carbon cycle and climate models using non-linear
attribution methodologies and updated historical
emissions datasets
• Investigate the effect of a range of scientific,
methodological and policy-related choices on the
attribution, but not the full range by all uncertainties.

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
1. Indicators
Conclusions
• Two main factors:
• Whether a source emitted ‘early’ versus ‘late’
• The share of emissions of short-lived / long-lived gases.
• Choosing the right indicator is ultimately a policy choice that also
depends on the purpose of use of the results.
• Temperate increase: use evaluation date after the attribution end
date
• ‘Backward discounting’ and ‘forward looking’: ‘weighted
concentrations’ or ‘integrated temperatures’
• Not ‘backward discounting’: GWP-weighted cumulative emissions
could be an option, which is simple and approximately represents
the integrated impact on temperature.

• Choosing a shorter time horizon (e.g. 1950 or 1990 instead of 1890)
reduces the contributions of OECD90 countries ('early emitters') to
temperature increase.

gives more weight to their larger future emissions.

• A later evaluation-date raises OECD contributions due to:
(1) their large share in historical CO2 emissions (long residence time)
(2) and their small share of methane emissions (short residence time)

3. Attribution methods
• Normalised marginal
method - Attributes
responsibility using total
sensitivities determined
"at the margin".
• Residual (all-but-one)
method - Attributes
responsibility by leaving
out the emissions of each
region in turn.
• Time-sliced - determines
the effect of emissions
from each time as if there
were no subsequent
emissions.
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
21
3. Attribution methods
• The Residual method,
although simple to
implement and explain,
can be rejected on
scientific grounds (not
additive).
• The Normalised
marginal and Timesliced methods are
harder to implement
and explain. These
methods differ in how
they treat early vs. late
emissions.

• Differences between methods are greater for later evaluation date (2100)
• In general, the results of the different methods vary most for regions with
emissions that differ most from the average in terms of early versus late
emissions, i.e. India and EU.

Overall conclusions
• First summary of the work undertaken so to date
• Not a full assessment of the uncertainty range, but an evaluation of
the influence of different policy-related and scientific choices
• The influence of scientific choices is notable. Therefore research is
ongoing (see paper #2)
• However, the current work suggests, that the impact of policy
choices, such as time horizon of emissions, climate change indicator
and greenhouse-gas mix is larger than the impact of scientific
uncertainties
• Impact of uncertainties on the relative contributions is smaller than
impact of uncertainties on the absolute changes in temperature.
• Research needs: Historical emission datasets

• Inclusion of SO2 emissions reduces the contributions from ASIA and
REF, but the effect disappear when there is a gap between attribution
end date and evaluation date.
• Again effect is less less pronounced on longer time scales
