The US is now paying more than any other country for climate change damage, study suggests | BBC Science Focus Magazine Despite being the biggest carbon emitter, the US is already paying a disproportionate price for the climate crisis.

"After the US, the EU was estimated to have endured the second-largest economic hit, valued at $6.4 trillion."

"This is despite being the third biggest emitter (causing $6.42 trillion of damage), coming after China at $8.7 trillion."

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

"The burning of oil, gas, coal and forests releases heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are all at their highest level in at least 800,000 years."

Warming winters are reshaping Canada’s snowpack Climate change is altering not only how much snow falls, but where snowpack persists and how long it lasts.

"Warmer winters are bringing more rain instead of snow, more frequent mid-winter melt events and shorter snow-cover duration. In many regions, peak snowpack now arrives earlier."

This is also observable in Finland, as the Arctic warms rapidly.

Scotland’s new emissions strategy ‘too reliant on science fiction’, critics say UK Climate Change Committee voices concern over Scotland’s progress on decarbonising buildings and reliance on unproved technologies

“Scotland’s approach is too reliant on science fiction and too silent on where the significant cash injection needed will come from – that’s a high-stakes climate gamble” @oxfamscotland.bsky.social

Australia’s most costly anti-climate policy hits taxpayers for $30m a day as calls mount to wind back fuel tax credits | Adam Morton The government will hand over $10.8bn this financial year under the scheme that makes it cheaper for miners and other industries to use diesel and petrol

Global fossil CO2 emissions annual changes. Emissions have reduced during crises such as oil and financial ones, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global CO2 emissions intensity has reduced, but the emissions have increased with small setbacks during crises.

When scientists say that Europe should prepare for 3°C of global heating in 2100, that is the likely outcome under current policies, and the heating impacts will come faster to us than elsewhere in the world. We want growth as much as anyone.
