According to The Cryptonomist, TotalEnergies’ Energy Outlook published on November 2 2026 projects global temperatures could rise as high as 2.8 °C above pre‑industrial levels by the year 2100. The report’s eighth edition outlines energy scenarios through 2060 and notes that low‑carbon investment is increasing, but the pace of the transition is insufficient to keep warming below the 2 °C threshold.
The outlook highlights sharply different regional pathways as governments balance emissions reductions, affordability concerns, and supply‑security objectives. While low‑carbon energy investment has risen, the report indicates that current trajectories do not accelerate quickly enough to meet the target of staying under 2 °C warming.
