Our paper on a new scenario framework that foregrounds equity in energy and fair share of the carbon budget is now published. Steps away from the inequality-preserving SSP framework for a new and equitable distribution of the mitigation burden. See tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… The

The climate crisis just got incredibly worse!! The leading superpower, that refuses to acknowledge its historical responsibility for global warming, refuses to accept binding emission reduction targets has just undone whatever little it has been doing so far!!
