Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

Sea levels around the world have been underestimated due to inaccurate modelling...

The finding could significantly affect assessments of the future impacts of global heating and the effects on coastal cities.

Global CO2 emissions rise through 2050 in most IEO2023 cases - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

We project that global energy-related CO2 emissions from consumption of coal, liquid fuels, and natural gas will increase over the next 30 years across most of the cases we analyzed in our International Energy Outlook 2023 (IEO2023).

US pension funds most sensitive to climate change Ortec Finance releases inaugural US pension fund climate risk report, analyzing the average portfolio allocation of the Top 30 pension funds in the US by AUM

β€œUS pension funds are expected to experience the most significant impact from both transition and physical climate risks... these funds could face investment return declines of up to 50%* by 2040 if climate policies remain unaddressed.”

Another El Nino Already? What Can We Learn from It?
"We find that the principal drive for global warming acceleration began in about 2015, which implies that 2Β°C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury."
