Editor's note

|
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have risen to the highest level in history, according to the newly released 2017 Global Carbon Budget. As Pep Canadell and colleagues report, the rise comes after a three-year plateau which had raised hopes that emissions had peaked and would soon begin to decline, even as world economies grow. But the new figures suggest that this milestone is still some way down the track.
And talking of budgets, if you’re having to room share to afford to live in the city, what if you need more than a place to sleep? Well, writes Christian Tietz, now you can rent a living room by the minute.
