The originally published title of this article, “Change in cooling degree days with global mean temperature increasing from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C,” was imprecise, and the title is now amended to read “Change in cooling degree days with global mean temperature rise increasing from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C” in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
