Techno-optimistic scientists were less likely to engage in civic action (e.g., signing petitions, participating in protests) and high-impact lifestyle changes (e.g., reducing flying, shifting to plant-rich diets)
On average, their engagement was 28% and 20% lower, respectively.

"Without action, the signal from scientists will be drowned out in the marketing noise from oil companies"
Climate reporting deluged by high carbon adverts
Newspapers in Britain carried more adverts for polluting travel than reports of the last climate conference.

It's astounding how much CO₂ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels.
For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.

Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

Truly remarkable: Poland used to be a climate laggard.
Today, wind and solar are increasingly replacing coal in the Polish electricity mix with almost 30% of all electricity generated to date this year from wind and solar.
In 2000 coal provided 95% of Polish electricity.
Today it is at 51%.

The land and ocean CO₂ sink are 25% and 7% smaller, respectively, than they would have been without the effects of climate change and variability, on average for the 2015-2024 period.
Combined, this is equivalent to the total sink (land and ocean) being nearly 20% smaller than otherwise.

Global CO2 emissions from land-use change are expected to decrease in 2025, driven by reductions in deforestation and degradation fires in South America.
Land-use change emissions have decreased since their peak in the late-1990s, in particular in the past decade.
