The 2025 update of the Global Carbon Budget is out. While fossil CO2 emissions rise again and carbon sinks are weakened by climate change, deforestation emissions are down and many countries decarbonise their energy. No global emissions peak yet though.

The world’s carbon emissions continue to rise. But 35 countries show progress in cutting carbon
In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

This is definitely something worthy of quantitative analysis and experiments. It is very hard to know otherwise how much of the error was due to the lack of weather balloons. Forecast failures happen, and tropical cyclones moving into the extratropics are a common source of these.

Really chuffed that my good friend and colleague, Gabi Hegerl, has been awarded a CBE in the King's Birthday Honours. She and Ben Santer were the pioneers who detected human-induced climate change in the mid 1990s as I wrote about in my book Hot Air and why it was such a crucial advance at the time.
