Author Correction: Variability in historical emissions trends suggests a need for a wide range of global scenarios and regional analyses

The original version of this Article contained errors in the caption of Figs. 1 and 2 and in Fig. 2. In the caption of Figs. 1 and 2, the description of the colour codes incorrectly read ‘low (vermillion), medium–low (bluish-green), medium–high (orange), and high (blue) emissions’. The correct version replaces this description with ‘low (bluish-green), medium–low (blue), medium–high (orange), and high (vermillion)’. In Fig. 2, the label ‘RCP’ was misplaced and pointed at the ‘SSP-BL’ scenario estimates, and the label ‘SRES’ was misplaced and pointed at the ‘RCP’ scenario estimates (for the 2010 projections in Fig. 2a–c). In addition, not all scenario projections/estimates were labelled. These errors and omissions have been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
