Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength.
The key findings are covered in two reports this year:
* ESSDD (preprint): essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
* Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My colleague @jikorsbakken.bsky.social puts the 2015-2020 growth down to construction & 2020-2025 down to advanced manufacturing (which is more electricity intensive). So, what will it be 2025-2030?
Carbon capture was never the plan, it was the comfort blanket: “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it later".
A story to delay real cuts while drilling rolls on.
When the industry feels powerful & secure, the fairy tale goes back on the shelf.
But who is dropping their 2030 targets? Who has weakened them? I guess the USA, ok, but how does US relate to Equinor & CCS?
EU targets are only getting stronger...

It is not defined as holding emissions constant.
Though, the variation in the RCB due to non-CO2 emissions spans 1.5°C-1.7°C & many likelihoods.
