ALT A graphic promoting both jobs. Organic geochemist has the closing date of 25 August and administrator / business assistant has the closing date of 10 August. to the left is a photo of core. To the top right is the BGS logo.
ALT Bar chart – The share of emissions cuts covered by 'credible' policies has grown: Share of emissions cuts needed to hit the UK’s 2030 climate goal that are rated by successive CCC reports as being backed by “credible” policies, or that face “some” or “significant” risks to delivery, or where there are “insufficient plans”, %. Source: Carbon Brief analysis of CCC reports.
ALT A bar chart displaying information about global food miles and their associated greenhouse gas emissions. The chart has two main sections: the left side indicates the share of global food miles by mode of transportation, while the right side shows the greenhouse gas emissions in grams required to move one kilogram of food one kilometer. - **Shipping** accounts for 59% of global food miles, with a low emission of 20 grams. - **Road transport** is responsible for 31% of food miles, emitting 400 grams per kilogram. - **Rail** contributes 10% to the total, with 60 grams of emissions. - A small percentage, **0.2%**, represents food transported by air, which has the highest emissions at 1130 grams. The chart suggests that shipping is a very carbon-efficient method of transporting food compared to other means. The data source is credited to Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek, 2018.
ALT A bar chart titled "Global sales of combustion engine cars have peaked," showing annual car sales from 2010 to 2023. The chart highlights that combustion engine car sales peaked in 2017/18 and have declined since, while electric car sales (in orange) have steadily risen. Total car sales hover around 70–80 million annually, with electric cars making a growing share of the market from 2018 onward. Data source: International Energy Agency, Global EV Outlook 2024. Note: Electric cars include fully battery-electric and plug-in hybrids.
ALT Comparison of recent and forecast annual change in atmospheric CO2 concentration with an illustrative scenario limiting global warming to 1.5C. Light blue thin line: Annual change in CO2 concentration at the Mauna Loa observatory from observations. Mid-blue thin line: Annual increments in CO2 concentration at the Mauna Loa observatory reconstructed using statistical relationship between concentrations, emissions and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Red dot with vertical error bars: the 2025 forecast increment. Dark blue thick line and dark blue dot: estimated increments without the influence of ENSO. Grey plume: simulated CO2 concentrations in the C1-IMP-SP scenario limiting global warming to 1.5C with >50% likelihood.
