In contrast, outlays for major mandatory spending programs (Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) increased by $101 billion (7%). Most notably, Medicaid outlays rose by $47 billion (14%). Enrollment remains elevated because the Families First Coronavirus Relief Act requires states to maintain eligibility of all enrollees for the duration of the public health emergency. Other significant increases in spending included the Food and Nutrition Service (up $35 billion or 36%), the Department of Education (up $27 billion or 37%, as more of the pandemic-related emergency grants got allocated), and the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (up $26 billion or 54%, as pandemic-related expenditures increased). Finally, interest on the public debt continues to be one of the fastest-growing pieces of the budget, up by $73 billion (29%) fiscal year to date.
Cumulative year-to-date outlays increased 4% ($225 billion) compared to the first 10 months of FY2020, again driven by pandemic-relief programs. These include a $318 billion increase (79%) in spending for economic impact payments and refundable tax credits, which were expanded this fiscal year under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Additionally, outlays from the Coronavirus Relief Fund increased $62 billion (42%) year-over-year. On the flipside, Medicare outlays declined 12% ($76 billion) compared to the same period in FY2020, as the expansions carried out under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 increased outlays last July and have since dissipated. Total outlays this year are still 57% ($2.1 billion) greater than the same period in FY2019, demonstrating the lasting effect of COVID-19 relief programs on the federal budget.
The Congressional Budget Office reported that the federal government ran a deficit of $399 billion in May, the eighth month of fiscal year 2020. This represents almost double the monthly deficit recorded in May 2019. So far this fiscal year, the budget deficit has mounted to $1.88 trillion, more than two-and-a-half times as large as at this point last year (when it was $739 billion). Total revenues so far this fiscal year are down 11% ($256 billion) compared to the same point last year, while outlays are up 29% ($886 billion).

Here we consider the updated carbon budgets provided by the IPCC and low-carbon scenarios published by the IEA in 2018 and 2019 respectively. We also consider the implications of aiming for more stringent temperature thresholds (1.5C), and some key factors that analysts and investors must consider before relying on any given carbon budget.
Whereas carbon budgets give the total amount of carbon that can be released, they do not indicate the pathway to that outcome either in terms of the trajectory of emissions over time or the sources of those emissions. Scenarios are used to provide this detail, usually incorporating economic modelling, and may imply a temperature outcome or carbon budget in terms of total emissions released.
A central difference between IEA and IPCC carbon figures is that whereas the IPCC budgets relate to total emissions of CO2, the IEA scenarios focuses primarily on the energy sector, which is the largest single source of anthropogenic CO2 emissions through the burning of coal, oil and gas. The remainder is accounted for by emissions from industries, land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).
Crucially, a carbon budget also needs to specify basis of measurement of the pre-existing global temperature rise. The most commonly used approach, including in AR5 and SR15, is to estimate warming based on modelled global mean near-surface air temperatures (SAT).
