RCP 8.5 Outdated as Clean Tech Drives Lower Emissions
Those doing victory laps over RCP 8.5 might consider why that scenario is no longer relevant. Largely, it's improved emissions efficiency of energy production and end-use consumption. Fracking, EVs, solar, and batteries all mean that plausible GHG scenarios have shifted...
