Fig. 1: Climate impact related to the emission of a greenhouse gas (GHG) including CO2, CH4 and N2O.
From: Risk to rely on soil carbon sequestration to offset global ruminant emissions
a Radiative forcing of one pulse emission of a tonne (t) of GHGs during 500 years. The area under the graph represents the cumulative radiative forcing. b Global surface temperature change of one pulse emission of a t of GHGs during 500 years. c Cumulative radiative forcing of a continuous yearly emission of one t of GHGs during 500 years. d Cumulative global surface temperature change of a continuous yearly emission of one t of GHGs during 500 years. Note the difference in scale on the y-axis. The calculations are based on a simple climate model27. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
