Abstract: Kyoto Protocol implications for CO2, temperature and sea level are examined. Three scenarios for post‐Kyoto emissions reductions are considered. In all cases, the long‐term consequences are small. The limitations specified under the Protocol are interpreted in terms of both CO2 and CH4 emissions reductions and a new emissions comparison index, the Forcing Equivalence Index (FEI), is introduced. The use of GWPs to assess CO2‐equivalence is assessed.
