There are a lot more non-mitigation baselines in the SSP database, but given computational limitations only a subset were selected as RCP marker scenarios.

Its complicated :-p

The solid lines are the scenarios being run in CMIP6. The grey lines are all no-policy baselines, while the colored lines are various mitigation scenarios.
