** Fractions of scenario simulations meeting the warming objective with that amount of CCE
*** CCE at the time the temperature threshold is exceeded that are required for 66%, 50%, and 33% of the simulations assuming non-CO2 forcing follows the
RCP8.5 scenario (similar emissions are implied by the other RCP scenarios). For the most scenario-threshold combinations, emissions and warming continue after
the threshold is exceeded. Nevertheless, because of the cumulative nature of the CO2 emissions these figures provide an indication of the cumulative CO2
emissions implied by simulations under RCP-like scenarios. Values are rounded to the nearest 50.
