This analysis proposes a novel method for quantifying national responsibility for damages related to climate change by looking at national contributions to cumulative CO2 emissions in excess of the planetary boundary of 350 ppm atmospheric CO2 concentration. This approach is rooted in the principle of equal per capita access to atmospheric commons.
- chrisco255 6y agoThere is no such planetary boundary. CO2 ppm concentrations have been higher than 1000 ppm for most of Earth's history. To this day, the vast majority of plant species are C3 carbon-fixated plants, which absolutely thrive under CO2 fertilization of between 1000 and 2000 ppm with some plant species benefitting all the way up to 4000 ppm.
