Xu, Yangyang; Ramanathan, Veerabhadran (2017): Well below 2 °C: Mitigation strategies for avoiding dangerous to catastrophic climate changes. In Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1618481114.

„We outline a three-lever strategy to limit the central warming below the dangerous level and the LPHI below the catastrophic level, both in the near term ([lt]2050) and in the long term (2100): the carbon neutral (CN) lever to achieve zero net emissions of CO₂, the super pollutant (SP) lever to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants, and the carbon extraction and sequestration (CES) lever to thin the atmospheric CO₂ blanket. Pulling on both CN and SP levers and bending the emissions curve by 2020 can keep the central warming below dangerous levels.“
