For the first time, independent monitoring data from #ICOSCities confirms that GHG emissions in Paris have decreased by 25% in the last decade, aligning almost perfectly with the 26% CO₂ reduction reported by Airparif (2015–2022).

Maybe the land carbon sink is weaker than we thought. Big implications: "A lower-than-expected land carbon sink would also imply that the land biosphere may be closer to transitioning from a net carbon sink to a net source than current models predict" Randerson et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The weak land carbon sink hypothesis
Satellite-derived time series of vegetation carbon do not support a strong Northern Hemisphere net land carbon sink.
