UN warns world likely to overshoot 1.5°C, sees possible path back — 4hA group of UN-led assessments warn that the 1.5°C limit is increasingly likely to be breached in coming years, but still callable back down through a sustained overshoot-and-reduction pathway that combines rapid emission cuts with large-scale carbon removal. The consensus remains that while overshoot is not inevitable catastrophe, it will entail decades of heightened climate risks and requires urgent, bolder action across mitigation, adaptation, and governance to keep temperatures from rising further.

Newsom for signature to become law, potentially making California the first state to do so. The measure would require agencies to offer a 'Jewish' option on ethnicity or ancestry forms, be voluntary, and include privacy safeguards while aiming to improve policy-relevant data on health, education, and hate crimes, amid broad support from Jewish groups and some opposition concerns.

Elena Vasquez Ethnicity, religion, culture - Jewish identity crosses all of them, so I get why forms have struggled with this for years. Curious how other states will respond.
