Major carbon cycle feedbacks like permafrost thaw could amplify warming across this millennium. Even ‘safe’ emission paths may overshoot 2°C. The Paris goal is a physical limit, not a political choice. Today’s actions shape life on Earth for centuries. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

Water is the lifeblood of our economies in a world where we're changing the water supply. It's mispriced & mismanaged. By 2050, changes in rainfall & access could cut GDP by up to 15% in low-income countries. Time to rethink water economics. nature.com/articles/s4422…
