How much has each country contributed to climate change through historical #emissions of #carbon dioxide, #methane and nitrous oxide?

Today, our new 'living' dataset for tracking national contributions to #warming is published in @ScientificData

buff.ly/3lILj8z @ScientificData We provide estimates of the #warming caused by historical #emissions of #CO2, #CH4 and #N2O by 226 countries, for every year since 1850.

National warming contributions are further split into #fossil or #land use, land use change and #forestry (LULUCF) sources.

🚨🌍 Global Carbon Budget 2022, out now!🌍🚨

It provides the latest update on how we humans have tampered with Earth's remarkable system of #carbon stocks and flows.

So what are the take-homes from our latest update?

@gcarbonproject @PFriedling It's a story of persistent high global #CO2 emissions, but with some hints (and some hope!) that *total* human #emissions are levelling off.

(Although with considerable uncertainty in the land use change emissions).

🔥 THREAD: global fire patterns 🔥

Recent drought-related #wildfires have underscored how #climate change can increase fire risks regionally.
But various factors (e.g. human ignitions/suppression, vegetation growth) control fire, making regional fire patterns horribly complex! It's tough to distill all these complexities into general statements, so here's a thread to showcase what 🛰 observations can reveal about 🔥 trends at various regional scales.

I invite you to get lost in the maps that follow and appreciate the complexity in all its glory! 🤘

So, our @NatureClimate paper was released today and the world knows a lot more about the global impacts of #covid-19 #lockdown on daily #CO2 emissions. @clequere @Peters_Glen @PFriedling

But how has lockdown impacted #emissions in individual countries? 2/
The reductions in global emissions during January and February were driven by lockdown in China, the ‘epicentre’ of the virus outbreak.

International expansion of confinement measures led to deeper emissions cuts in March and April.

Today @ScienceBrief publishes its first Rapid Response Review on #wildfire risks

sciencebrief.org/briefs/rrr-hea…

**All** 57 scientific papers show linkages between #climatechange and increased #fireweather

@richardabetts @pepcanadell @uniofeastanglia @tyndallcentre @clequere #FireWeather refers to periods when fire is more likely due to hot, dry, and often windy conditions

Fire weather is an overall measure of the flammability of the landscape - increases suggest rising fire risk
