Iran war helps fuel global drop in fossil fuel emissions — but there's a catch -- In the run-up to the COP31 U.N. climate change conference, scientists have revealed that global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to drop by 0.4% this year, driven by growth in installed wind and solar power capacity, as well as oil price hikes caused by the Iran conflict. But climate goals are still unlikely to be met. -- Chris Simms
