Abstract: Abstract Numerous CO2 emission scenarios have recently been proposed. However, the time ranges of most scenarios are not long enough to allow analysis of their climate implications. An extrapolation method is proposed to link the emission scenarios with atmospheric stabilization targets that take effect centuries after the scenario period. Using this method, emission scenarios proposed previously are extensively applied to 350 to 750ppmv CO2 targets during the 23rd century, and allowable emission ranges during the 21st century are discussed.
