🚨Global Carbon Project 2024 assessment is out! Here are my fav 10 charts (from the 2nd half report😅):

1) Energy use by source. Fossil energy just keep growing; hydro and nuclear declining 😬; but renewables growing exponentially (at this rate they'll triple in a decade)!

Softening the definition of Net Zero makes it easier to achieve, but won’t stop global warming!

Authors of “Net Zero Papers” call on countries & companies to recognise the need for Geological Net Zero (GNZ), balancing flows of carbon into & out of the Earth’s crust.

The 2024 Global Carbon Budget was just released! Unfortunately despite hopes emissions might peak, both fossil CO2 and total CO2 emissions reached new record highs. I cover details w/ Pierre Friedlingstein (@PFriedling) at Carbon Brief: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible?

It should be a rather easy question to answer, but we all squirm and find it difficult due to the social pressures.

Maybe crossing 1.5°C is the wake up call we need?
