5m tonnes of CO2 emitted in just 14 days of US war on Iran, analysis finds

The US-Israel war on Iran is a disaster for the climate, according to an analysis that finds it is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined.

How do mesoscale #eddies shape the Southern Ocean #CarbonBudget? 🌊🌀

The Southern Ocean takes up about a quarter of anthropogenic CO₂. A 27-yr eddy resolving simulation conducted by Salinas-Matus et al. shows anticyclonic eddies to be most efficient at absorbing atmospheric CO₂, while cyclones & peripheries are weaker. These eddies cause daily & seasonal variability and act as overall carbon sinks, contributing ~10 % of total uptake & ~1 % of anomalous uptake.🔍

#CarbonBudget ? The emperor has no clothes.

The richest 1% have exhausted their annual carbon budget – the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while staying within 1.5 degrees of warming – only ten days into the year, according to new analysis from Oxfam. The richest 0.1% already used up their carbon limit on the 3rd January.
