Change in cooling degree days with global mean temperature rise increasing from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C Open
Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. Here we show the impact on global cooling demand in moving from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C of global warming. African countries have the highest increase in cooling requir…

Metrics for the emissions of F-gas refrigerants Open
This paper examines the metrics used to account for the contribution to global warming from fluorinated gases (f-gases) mainly used as refrigerants for cooling. F-gases are key to climate mitigation discussion as they a) are critical to de…

Global warming from refrigerant HFCs is underestimated by their CO2 equivalent emissions within the century Open
HFC refrigerant gases are the fastest growing atmospheric GHGs and amongst the most potent. Yet, unlike methane (a short-lived GHG akin to most refrigerants but with significantly lower GWPs), the errors in estimating refrigerant warming b…
