Abstract: A simplified global climate response model was used to calculate radiative forcings and temperature responses from the emissions of shipping. Radiative forcings were calculated for 2000, which were: 0.043 W m-2 (CO2); 0.021 W m-2 (O3); -0.011 W m-2 (CH4). If these forcings are combined with literature values for SO4, black carbon and the indirect aerosol effect, a total forcing of -0.08 W m-2 was calculated. Comparing the 2000 CO2 shipping radiative forcing and temperature responses with those for aviation showed them to be approximately 1.8× and 2.7× greater.
