A path to €5k-a-month incomes for all countries within +1.8°C of warming

by

The World Inequality Lab has launched the Global Justice Report: a Plan for Equality and Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries, during the opening of the World Inequality Conference 2026. The report sets out a new vision for global progress in the 21st century: grounding human development and equality in planetary habitability. It explores the conditions under which the world could move toward this horizon and traces an economically and ecologically consistent transition path from 2026 to 2100.

Researchers say global warming could trigger the next ice age

by

A missing feedback in earth’s carbon cycle could cause global warming to overshoot into an ice age, say researchers at University of California - Riverside. As the planet warms, nutrient-rich runoff fuels plankton blooms that bury huge amounts of carbon in the ocean. In low-oxygen conditions, this process can spiral out of control, cooling earth far beyond its original state. While this won’t save us from modern climate change, it may explain earth’s most extreme ancient ice ages.

2026 temperature likely to be 1.4°C above pre-industrial average

by

The Met Office has forecasted the temperature for next year to be 1.46°C above the pre-industrial average (1850-1900). The last three years have all exceeded 1.4°C, and 2026 will be the fourth year in succession to do this. The average global temperature for 2026 is forecast to be between 1.34°C and 1.58°C (with a central estimate of 1.46°C) above the average for the pre-industrial period.
