Remaining CO2 budget for 1.5 and well below 2C updated by Kevin Anderson for January 2025 , after Lamboll et al 2023.

Quite complex. Have been playing with the supplementary data for national budgets for a week or so now, and still can't make much sense of the values
One equity consideration is left out which I very much liked in Romanovskaya 2019 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17583004.2019.1620037
She considered nations according to their heating and cooling requirements and also regarding their population density. So a densely populated Germany for example gets a lower mobility budget for personal and goods transport than Tanzania, but a far higher heating budget.
I'm trying to apply her logic to the new godly message by Li, Rogelj et al – just to see how this changes things.
Needless to say: Germany is far outside her budget already in either case. There might be some left for 2C, but I doubt it.
Another thing around budgets that always ails me:
nowadays, we count land use change and forestry LUCF emissions. And since mostly nations from the Global South are still felling forests, this gets deducted from their fair budget.
So far so good. But.
Spain for example built its wealth by felling all the oak forest by 1600 AD. For ship building and metallurgy.
The whole land was covered by oak trees from the Pyrenees down to Gibraltar in 100 AD or something, a roman explorer and philosopher wrote back then, forgot his name now.
So why should these emissions not count against Spain's remaining budget? South America is speaking Spanish for a reason. Without those oak trees, they'd speak, dunno, maybe English? Or Portuguese or Italian?
Anyway, the point is that they felled them, did not plant new ones, and took the riches from South America to build their nation's wealth that still today is the foundation of their well-being.
What do you think? Is it fair to deduct emissions from felling forests from national budgets – while omitting nations like Spain and Great Britain?

On February 11 2025, the Town Council of #Caledon, Canada, voted six-to-two in favour of endorsing the #PlantBasedTreaty to improve the health of residents and reduce greenhouse gas #emissions. The move means Caledon joins 35 towns and cities worldwide, including #Brampton (Ontario), #LosAngeles, #Amsterdam and #Edinburgh in supporting a global Plant Based Treaty as a companion to the #ParisAgreement.

Only One Big Economy Is Aiming for #ParisAgreement's 1.5C Goal
UK is outlier with an increasingly ambitious #climate plan after more than 170 countries miss #UN deadline.
Seven of 10 world's largest economies missed deadline on Monday to submit updated #emissions-cutting plans to United Nations -- and only one, the UK, outlined a strategy for the next decade that keeps pace with expectations staked out under the Paris Agreement.

"Earth is crossing the threshold of 1.5°C of global warming, according to two major global studies which together suggest the planet’s climate has likely entered a frightening new phase.
Under the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, humanity is seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and keep planetary heating to no more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. In 2024, temperatures on Earth surpassed that limit.
This was not enough to declare the Paris threshold had been crossed, because the temperature goals under the agreement are measured over several decades, rather than short excursions over the 1.5°C mark.
But the two papers just released use a different measure. Both examined historical climate data to determine whether very hot years in the recent past were a sign that a future, long-term warming threshold would be breached.
The answer, alarmingly, was yes. The researchers say the record-hot 2024 indicates Earth is passing the 1.5°C limit, beyond which scientists predict catastrophic harm to the natural systems that support life on Earth."
