Common questions
What does Degrees Now cover?
The physical evidence of climate change and the European policy instrument responding to it, held together in one place. The science and Emissions carry the measurements, EU policy carries the instruments, and Impacts in Europe and Responses cover what is landing and what is being done about it.
Where do the numbers come from?
From published research, agency datasets and named news reporting, each credited and linked in the piece that uses it. Degrees Now measures nothing itself and calculates nothing of its own. If a figure matters to you, follow it back to the body that published it.
Does the site take a political position?
It reports what has been published rather than campaigning, and it is independent of the institutions, parties and organisations it covers. Policy pieces describe what an instrument does and who objected, without endorsing either side.
Why are there no author names?
Articles are written with automated assistance from the reporting they summarise, so the source publication is credited where a byline would be. Nobody is presented here as a climate scientist. Sources and methods explains the process.
When do new pieces appear?
Through the day as sources publish, so the front page reorders rather than resetting on a schedule. Policy pieces cluster around council meetings, votes and report releases.
How do I get a correction made?
The Corrections page asks for the article address and the claim you think is wrong. The article is then corrected in place with a dated note at the foot, and substantive corrections are listed there.
