Fossil fuel emissions projected to dip in 2026 as Iran war hits oil use
Fossil fuel emissions are projected to fall 0.4% in 2026, partly because the Iran conflict drove up oil prices and cut consumption. Renewable energy also contributed.
Aspect
Niklas Höhne said permanent shifts, including growth in electric cars and trucks, mean the global emissions peak may be near or already reached.
Malte Meinshausen said windfall gains for oil producers outside the affected area could encourage more oil exploration and dampen the emissions effect.
Aspect
The Straits Times report said solar, wind and electric vehicles contributed to the projected fall, meeting two thirds of the increase in global energy demand.
Glen Peters said the sharp drop in oil emissions was driven largely by the war-related energy shock, rather than a systemic shift away from fossil fuels.

Researchers found higher levels of ergothioneine in the brains and blood of mice given five different lifespan-extending treatments. They say more research is needed to learn whether the substance helps slow aging.
Researchers compared patterns across five lifespan-extending treatments and multiple tissue types in mice.
The team used patterns from four treatments to test whether an AI program could identify mice given the fifth treatment.
ScienceAlert published its report on the findings.

São Paulo court allows Urupês to resume compounded tirzepatide program
A São Paulo court temporarily cleared Urupês to restart its municipal obesity program using compounded tirzepatide, while a legal challenge by Eli Lilly continues.
Production model
Eli Lilly argued the municipal supply model could involve large-scale compounding contrary to Anvisa rules.
The city said the quantity listed in its procurement plan was for budgeting and planning, and that each supply was based on an individual prescription.
Program status
Eli Lilly’s lawsuit led to an injunction halting the program.
The city appealed, arguing that treatment was administered by health professionals and that interruption could harm patients.
