A line chart showing annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry (not land use) for several countries from 1750 to 2024. Data from the Global Carbon Budget (2025)
We just published our “Top of the Charts”, a look at our most popular charts, articles, data insights & more in 2025! (link in 🧵)
Here are our top 5 most-viewed charts.
Each Friday over the next few weeks, we’ll share the top 5 for other categories (articles, etc.). Stay tuned!
1. CO2 emissions
Yesterday we had a combined group meeting, coinciding with Juan José Parajó visiting our group #LISTE at #CICA (Centro Interdisciplinar de Química e Bioloxía).
It was the first time we had a group meeting with both teams at the University of Cambridge & Universidade da Coruña together.
It was fun!
The global number of maternal deaths has more than halved. Line chart titled "Estimated annual number of women who die from maternal conditions," showing a steady decline in estimated annual maternal deaths worldwide from about 625,000 in 1985 to about 260,000 in 2023, with a small uptick around 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic before falling again. Data source: World Health Organization - Global Health Observatory (2025). Chart licensed CC BY to Our World in Data.
Maternal deaths have more than halved in the last forty years
A chart in three parts showing data on child mortality to make the points that "The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time."
The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.
All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.
We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵
The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.
Does the news reflect what we die from?
Today's #HydrogenSoufflé is brought to you from the future. Yes, this project is so dumb I can break news of its failure even before it's happened. Innovate UK and Swansea are supporting a project to use floating offshore wind to make green hydrogen. Taxpayers, rise up!

With only four months of the year still to report, I estimate that 2025 will be either the second (~33% chance) or third (~66% chance) warmest year on record. There is effectively zero chance that it will set a new record or be lower than the third warmest at this point.
People in my life are probably tired of how often I'm excitedly saying, "No...you don't understand....this is happening much faster than expected...people don't know what's happening!"
Sure, and I really enjoyed Wil Wheaton´s read of the The Collapsing Empire trilogy... but there´s something special about the author´s voicing the novel
EV revolution is sweeping the globe, bypassing North America and gently touching Europe.
Any chance of you reading the audiobooks?
Polestar 3 sets a Guinness World Record for longest drive by a production electric SUV—581.3 mi (935.4 km) on one charge. Achieved in the UK with a single-motor RWD model at 12.1 kWh/100 km. It’s the SUV champ, though the Lucid Air sedan still holds the overall EV record at 749 mi (1,205 km). #EVs

It's always nice when very successful people acknowledge how much of their success comes down to luck, ie, the things that fall your way that you personally had no control over.

statistics show that fires in electric vehicles are up to 20 times less likely than in internal combustion engine vehicles. Still, when they do occur, they tend to receive disproportionate media attention, often leading to an unfair perception of risk 👏👏
