Global fossil fuel emissions are likely to decrease by 0.4% in 2026, according to new research by the Global Carbon Project, an annual report that tracks trends in global carbon emissions. 

The drop was spurred on by the energy shock triggered by the Iran war and the expansion of wind and solar power adoption globally. 

While it’s a promising sign, the researchers say that the findings don’t spell out a permanent decline in fossil fuel use, but rather a temporary shift. 

“We see a decrease in emissions, but it's probably driven by a short term shock rather than a systemic peak,” says Mike O’Sullivan, senior lecturer at the University of Exeter and one of the report’s researchers. 

Two of the world’s three biggest emitters are expected to see a drop in emissions. China’s emissions are expected to drop by 0.9% in 2026, following two years of remaining flat or falling. The country is a world leader in clean energy adoption, but is also responsible for 32% of global fossil fuel emissions. The U.S. is also expected to see a 1.3% decrease in emissions, mainly attributed to a decrease in coal emissions following a spike in 2025 due to high natural gas prices and a spell of cold weather. This trend, however, could shift. Since taking office, President Trump has invested hundreds of millions towards reviving the country’s coal industry, and repealed emissions standards for coal and gas power plants.

India, on the other hand, will likely see emissions rise by 4.4%—a bump from the 3.5% annual growth in fossil fuel emissions it has averaged over the last decade. 

The European Union and Japan are also expected to see slight decreases in fossil fuel emissions, while emissions for the rest of the world are also expected to decrease by 0.7%—largely due to decline in oil use.  

Global emissions from land-use change, another sector tracked in the report, have decreased over the past decade, but this year they’re expected to rise to 5.1 billion metric tons. That’s due to an increase in peat fires, slow burning fires that move beneath the ground, consume wetland soil and often lack visible flames, many of which have been ignited by human activities, and El Niño, which is increasing wildfire risk in places like Southeast Asia and South America. These fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. 

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is set to reach 427.7 ppm in 2026—54% above pre-industrial levels. According to the report, the global carbon budget, which represents how much carbon dioxide can be emitted before warming reaches 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, is now at 150 billion metric tons—equivalent to less than four years of emissions, assuming the world continues to emit at its current rate. 

The world is expected to blow past 1.5 degrees of warming, the U.N. has recently warned, and global climate goals are falling short of what is needed. But the authors highlight some signs of promise.

Despite some places seeing total emissions increase between 2019 and 2025, all regions still saw growth slow—including in China, India, and other emerging economies. On the other hand, more than two dozen countries have managed to grow their economies without increasing emissions, and the global adoption of wind and solar energy has helped avoid billions of metric tons of emissions. 

The authors estimate that, between now and the end of 2028, 64-79% of emissions from new energy demand will be offset by new solar and wind power and electric vehicles. What’s more, if the world continues to see an acceleration of clean energy adoption, it could see emissions peak and decline in just a few years. 

It doesn’t mean the work is done. “There's plenty of good news in terms of the rapid expansion of renewables,” says O’Sullivan, “but on a global scale, it's completely inadequate.”

A Bruce Springsteen fan club couldn't escape the badlands and shuttered over political commentary.

Founded more than a decade ago, the "Spring-Nuts" Facebook group dedicated to The Boss noticed its 18,000 members were no longer focused on his music as they battled against "hateful" online discourse due to Springsteen's public stances and recent endorsement of Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed.

"As the world grew increasingly divisive, hostile, those tensions inevitably spilled into our little corner of the E Street world," founders Julie and Howie Chaz said in a statement posted on Sunday, Nov. 8, according to Asbury Park Press.

"What should have been respectful differences of opinion too often deteriorated into personal attacks, bullying, insults, and some genuinely vile and hateful rhetoric."

Springsteen embarked on the "Land of Hope and Dreams" tour earlier this year with the E Street Band and legendary guitarist Tom Morello.

The 20-date tour across North America was slated in response to President Donald Trump and the "No Kings" protests.

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair – the cavalry is coming," Springsteen said while announcing the tour on social media in February.

"We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America – American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream – all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C."

He added, "Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome – so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of rock 'n' rebellion! I’ll see you there!"

"Spring-Nuts" founder Howie Chaz admitted that as Springsteen became "more outspoken about his politics," the group administrators were tasked with a "difficult balancing act" of respecting "his absolute right" while maintaining an ethical online community.

"How could we be a Bruce Springsteen fan community trying to protect that harmony and camaraderie and ignore messages and statements coming directly from the very artist who brought us all together," Howie said.

Springsteen's November endorsement of El-Sayed as "a fighter for our American Constitution" was the final straw for admins.

"Mr. Sayed campaigned with Hasan Piker who openly made horrific statements that America deserved 9/11," Howie said.

"After a Michigan synagogue was attacked back in March, obviously an act of terrorism, Sayed rationalized it by saying 'Hurt people hurt people' standing right next to the antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker who made the despicable 9/11 statement."

His endorsement was "deeply disappointing to us, given our concerns as proud Jews," Julie and Howie said.

"We certainly don't believe Bruce intended for his message to make fans feel unwelcome. But very unfortunately, some of his fans appointed themselves the gatekeepers of who was and wasn't worthy of belonging in the E Street community."

While the group's annual Seaside Serenade and Spring-Nuts podcasts will continue under a different name, the group will rebrand with a focus on music in general, Howie told the Asbury Park Press.

"One thing we want to make absolutely clear is that Julie and I can NEVER thank Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band enough for the decades of music, memories, inspiration, and absolute JOY they have brought into our lives," Howie said on Facebook.

"Bruce has been, and always will be, an enormous part of our personal story and journey. His music has been the soundtrack to so many of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and through Spring-Nuts, it opened doors, created opportunities, and introduced us to extraordinary people and experiences we could never have imagined."

Springsteen's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The details of the resolution between Dolly Parton's estate and her nephew, Bryan Seaver, were not immediately known.
