Bård Lahn performs a sweeping literature review to present the history of our notion of a "global carbon budget" and how this number has come to encapsulate a massive amount of scientific research into a useful, easily grasped tool in our policy skill set. A history of the global carbon budget is open access, free to read, worth your time.
In the publication mill long before recent events in Australia but popping up in a timely fashion, Wildfire risk science facilitates adaptation of fire-prone social-ecological systems to the new fire reality (open access) by Dunn et al describes what might be termed an engineered approach to dealing with increasing wildfire risk in the western United States.
