@PIK_climate A budget until 2030 sounds weirdly optimistic.
First, this is on a global scale. Germany had already exhausted its share of the 1.5 degree budget in 2022, according to the latest (2025) calculations: https://www.umweltrat.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/04_Stellungnahmen/2024_2028/2025_10_BVerfG.html (see page 7 in the PDF)
It's probably similar in other western/northern countries.
Second, the idea of a carbon budget for 1.5 degrees already includes the assumption that a lot of the CO2 that is currently in the atmosphere will be captured and stored, with a negative budget after 2050. This is a huge bet on technology that still doesn't exist.
Third, it's kind of weird to talk about remaining CO2 budgets when we already measure temperatures over 1.5 and it's accelerating.
Das Bundesverfassungsgericht berät derzeit über mehrere Verfassungsbeschwerden gegen das Klimaschutzgesetz. Es hat dem SRU die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich als sachkundiger Dritter zum Verfahren zu äußern. In seiner Stellungnahme befasst sich der SRU unter anderem mit dem CO2-Budget und aktualisiert seine Budget-Berechnung auf den Stand von 2025.
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.🔍
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. This day – named […]
