"There are a few bright spots worth celebrating, such as the rapid uptake of renewable energy and electric vehicles in recent years. And numerous countries have rallied behind net-zero goals and passed important climate legislation," they added. It said more information was required to better understand emissions scenarios if global average temperatures temporarily exceed and then return below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the extent to which carbon removal measures are needed and potential economic and non-economic loss and damage during a period of overshoot.
"The Stocktake offers countries preparing for COP28 in Dubai a clear inventory — not of failures — but of gaps and opportunities for governments, business and finance leaders to tackle together, in deeper systemic collaboration," said Maria Mendiluce, CEO of the global non-profit We Mean Business Coalition.An Iraqi man splashes water on his face to cool down during a heatwave in the Shorja market in central Baghdad on August 13, 2023.

Humanity Will Out-Communicate all Life on Earth Within 90 YearsAll organisms communicate information with their cells using signaling molecules. Add up all these communications, and it's the equivalent of 10^24 bits per second, which is an incomprehensibly large amount. Humanity's digital communication only amounts to 10^15 bits per second, nine orders of magnitude less. However, humanity's information transmission is growing exponentially, and according to a new study, it should catch up within 90 years. These estimates could help astronomers search for technological civilizations more advanced than us.
