A synthesis of climate-based emission metrics with applications.

The article discusses the synthesis and calculation of climate-based emission metrics of different species. It integrates radiative forcing (RF) with temperature change to a reference gas. It mentions several methods such as the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Bern Carbon Cycle. It concludes that the importance of short lived climate forcers (SLCFs) varies depending on the metric used.
