BREAKING: UK govt has decided NOT to 'carry forward' surplus emissions cuts from the third carbon budget

This is in line with advice from Climate Change Committee

Earlier reports suggested govt was considering carry forward, which would have weakened UK ambition

Just writing on mitigation deterrence with SRM and I'm looking for a counterpoint to all the public perception studies. What papers make the best case for SRM likely leading to mitigation deterrence and/or that public perceptions are a poor guide?

UK's new Advanced Research & Invention Agency ARIA published a 'thesis' (something of a pre-call-for-proposals) for soon funding SRM research, prioritizing outdoor work.

We keep under-estimating how fast renewable energy grows.

And we keep over-estimating how much fossil fuel is being used in the future.

Thanks RethinkX for these graphs!

Many Global North academics lament the power imbalance in SRM research and claim that more research would further disadvantage the Global South.

⁉️ So I ask: What are you doing about it? How are you empowering global south research?

A start: take the global south research that
