title: Technical Summary of the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - data for Figure TS.15 (v20220916)

description: Data for Figure TS.15 from the Technical Summary of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Figure TS.15 shows contribution to ERF and global surface temperature change from component emissions between 1750 to 2019 based on CMIP6 models, and net aerosol effective radiative forcing (ERF) from different lines of evidence. --------------------------------------------------- How to cite this dataset --------------------------------------------------- When citing this dataset, please include both the data citation below (under 'Citable as') and the following citation for the report component from which the figure originates: Arias, P.A., N.
