The average CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere at Mauna Loa in October was ~426.7 ppm (estimate from daily values). That's ~1.7-1.8 ppm higher than last year; a modest increase compared with the ~2.5 ppm/year average growth over the past decade. El Niño still to kick in, though.

Electric vehicle batteries could create a billion tons of emissions a year

A new study finds that cleaner battery production alone won't be enough to curb emissions as global demand for electric vehicles continues to grow.

Fully implementing methane plans could reverse emissions growth but miss 2030 target https://phys.org/news/2026-10-fully-methane-reverse-emissions-growth.html #environment #methane #emissions

Fully implementing methane plans could reverse emissions growth but miss 2030 target

A new study, led by IIASA researchers and coauthored by UNEP colleagues, finds that if governments fully implement their methane reduction plans, they could reduce global emissions by 11% between 2020 and 2030. This would reverse the current trend of increasing methane emissions, but would not be sufficient to achieve the goal of the Global Methane Pledge.

Cratering #oil use in #China shows the death spiral that could end oil New numbers released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China tell the tale: in Q2, oil use dropped by a whopping 9%, and an even more incredible 16% for transportation. Combined, drop in oil use was enough to pull Chinese #CO2 #emissions down by 1%. A large portion is due to boom in #electricvehicles and collapse in ICE vehicle sales, meaning transportation is simply getting more efficient.

Cratering oil use in China shows the death spiral that could end oil

Oil use and CO2 emissions dropped in Q2 in China due to EV growth. It could mean China's per-capita CO2 peaks at less than half of the US.

Past emissions from top polluters will keep the planet warmer for decades to come

If someone leaves the faucet running in your bathroom and the house floods, it's easy to assign responsibility for the damage. But for other disasters—bigger, more complicated and costlier ones—the link between cause and effect isn't as clear.

Emissions from the last ten years made Europe’s deadly 2025 heat wave even hotter

An AI model replayed Europe's deadly 2025 heat wave at 2015 emission levels, and the decade of emissions since shows up as added heat.

Emissions from the past decade have made Europe's recent heat waves worse

Recent heat waves in Europe have been intensified by the greenhouse gases emitted since nations committed to limiting global warming under the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to a Sep. 22 study published in Geophysical Research Letters.

Timber-production forests are twice less likely to burn as timber plantations: "We find plantations in temperate regions were twice as likely to suffer stand-replacing wildfires than natural production forests, including in vital timber-producing nations like China and Russia. Plantations in tropical regions showed no clear effect". Bousfield et al. (2025). "Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-59272-6 #plantations #forests #wildfires #carbon #GHG #climateChange #emissions #CO2

Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems - Nature Communications

Timber plantations in temperate countries are twice as likely to be destroyed by wildfires compared to natural wood-producing forests under similar conditions. The increasing threat of wildfires in the future will threaten global wood security.

Heat-related lost labor emerges as a major cost of carbon emissions

As the climate warms, people are more exposed to heat stress, which depresses productivity and the global economy. A study from the University of California, Davis, quantifies the cost of heat stress on global labor.

EPA eliminates rule that limits planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas, an action the agency said would remove more than $300 billion in costs for the industry and help “unleash” American energy. The rule change, first proposed last year, represents a […]

Petrochemical industry emissions could climb 50% by 2050, global mapping suggests

Carbon emissions from the petrochemical industry could increase by 50% by 2050, according to new research from the University of Sheffield. The study, published in Nature Sustainability, provides the most detailed data to date on emissions from one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon dioxide.
