Huge thanks to the dozens of climate scientists who sent us their rebuttals to the catalogue of outright falsehoods and misleading claims in Trump's new 'critical' climate report. This factcheck is the longest article CB has ever published - 27,500 words already and likely to keep growing...

What is the word to describe the feeling you get when you write about how young(ish) women who are regularly exposed to climate information are more likely to feel climate anxiety... Really enjoyed speaking to researchers for this @carbonbrief.org explainer www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-wh...

We picked up 5 charts explaining the latest UN report on food insecurity. 📈 Interestingly, the report finds that the average # of undernourished people fell worldwide by 15 million people in 2024, compared to the previous year. However, progress has been uneven. In Africa, hunger continues to rise.
