ESD Ideas: Extended net zero simulations are critical for informed decision making
Abstract. Climate changes under net zero emissions will take many centuries to play out, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere and in the ocean and cryosphere. New millennial-length Earth System Model simulations are required to better understand committed changes and their dependence on delays in reaching net zero emissions, especially with respect to local and regional extremes.
