World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds Fossil fuel emissions have hit a record high while many nations have done too little to avert deadly global heating

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.

10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C

20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C

So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

And this is why the global BHL community does what we do: so others can build on, use, and share 500+ years (63 million pages) of biodiversity knowledge & spectacular #SciArt. Over to you… 📖 🌏 🦆 🌱

Large cycle hub for 650 bikes opens at Richmond Station A new cycle hub has opened at Richmond Station, with capacity for 650 cycle parking spaces.

Wow 😍💙 Safe cycle parking, reduces car journeys, sustainable solar panels, increasing biodiversity with green walls.

Investing in travel for the future. Only one question - is it big enough?

Can you imagine a shark that’s almost the size of a blue whale? 🐋

New research suggests that prehistoric shark Megalodon might have been even bigger than first thought…

See just how big and how this was calculated in this week’s Surprising Science 🦈
