AI Fusion Summary

Rising oil prices triggered by the Iran war have caused a modest decline in global carbon emissions, with fossil‑fuel output falling about 0.4 percent this year. Scientists attribute the drop to higher pump prices and reduced oil consumption, while renewable energy sources like solar and wind have expanded. The decrease is noted in a report presented at COP31 and published in Nature.
