A team of over 60 leading climate scientists are warning that the central estimate of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C is 130 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide and will be exhausted in a little more than three years at current levels of emissions.

The House of Commons Select Committee for Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ) will hear evidence tomorrow from the leadership of the UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) as part of its ongoing inquiry into the Work of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

A group of prominent scientists, economists.business leaders, policy leaders and former heads of state have issued an open letter to the Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC Secretariat Simon Stiell as world leaders gathered in Baku for COP29.    

May 2024 was the warmest May on record, marking the 12th consecutive month in which the global average temperature reached a record value for the corresponding month, according to new data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).

There is an 80 percent likelihood that the annual average global temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Global warming caused by humans is advancing at 0.26°C per decade – the highest rate since records began, according to new research by more than 50 leading international scientists.

The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is warning that global warming exceeded 1.5C for a full year.

Globally 2023 was the warmest year in a series stretching back to 1850, according to figures just released today by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia.

It’s official - the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) says that unprecedented global temperatures from June onwards led 2023 to become the warmest year on record – overtaking by a large margin 2016, the previous warmest year.

The abundance of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere once again reached a new record last year and there is no end in sight to the rising trend, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
