Good news: carbon intensity has declined

Bad news: carbon emissions increased, due to the rapid rise in world GDP

Also bad news: the chance of staying below 2°C remained low, at 17%

Better news: chance of going above 3°C has gone down substantially, from 26% to 9%

Double, double toil and trouble: As the climate warms, the oceans bubble. And those bubbles have a big impact on carbon storage, suggests new research.

More Bubbles Means More Variation in Ocean Carbon Storage - Eos
A new model accounting for the role of bubbles in air-sea gas exchanges suggests that ocean carbon uptake is more variable than previously thought.
