This news article highlights five key events and trends to anticipate in 2025, including Donald Trump's second term as US president, the potential peak of global CO2 emissions, and the rise of a turbocharged football calendar.
From Donald Trump 's second term in the White House to a turbocharged football calendar, here are five things to watch in 2025. On January 20, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, 11 weeks after his convincing win in the election against Democrat Kamala Harris.
The Republican's swearing-in ceremony in front of the US Capitol in Washington comes four years after the attack on the seat of US democracy by Trump supporters, who did not accept he lost the 2020 election. Trump's return, at the age of 78, comes despite four indictments and a criminal conviction and after a campaign that also included two failed assassination attempts on him. With a list including vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary and Elon Musk co-heading a department of government efficiency, there is concern at what his second term could mean for the United States, and the world. He has vowed to Make America Great Again, retreating from multilateralism in favour of power politics. In late December the president-elect pledged to 'stop the transgender lunacy' on day one of his presidency, and to immediately begin 'the largest deportation operation in American history' of illegal migrants. Could 2025 be the year when our greenhouse gas emissions stop their steady climb around the world? Researchers are pointing to signs from the world's biggest polluter China, responsible for 30 percent of global emissions, where fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions are projected to tick up only marginally this year. Glen Peters, of the Global Carbon Project, says overall CO2 emitted by burning coal, oil and gas across the world could peak in the next few years. This carbon pollution is the main driver of increasingly dangerous climate change. But even if there is a peak, Ignacio Arroniz Velasco, of the E3G think tank, said countries cannot afford to 'relax', and should then quickly decrease their emissions to aim for carbon neutralit
