📢Global Carbon Budget 2025📢

Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength.

The key findings are covered in two reports this year:
* ESSDD (preprint): essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
* Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The world has a stubborn tendency to rebound...

Yes, there are mechanisms for a structural change post-Hormuz, but we said that after the Global Financial Crisis and after COVID. And yet, we still have record emissions of coal, oil, and gas!

When I think of the Strait of Hormuz & the discussions on whether it leads to a change in emissions trajectory as people get off oil-based products, I think of this graph...

It took 4-5 years for aviation to fully rebound after COVID!

The US EIA is currently forecasting US fossil-fuel emissions to drop by 1.7% in 2026.

Many countries now report GHG emissions to the UNFCCC.

There is a wealth of data, and many stories to tell.

Is it now that we start to see the real consequences of the combined conflicts in the Middle East and Russia?

It seems that capacity outside of the Middle East and Russia is being reached, with prices rising accordingly. But for how long and how far?
