1 day ago · Carbon dioxide from humanity’s burning of coal, oil and natural gas amounts to 2.6 million pounds (nearly 1.2 million kilograms) of the heat-trapping gas every second. Total carbon emissions — which include fossil fuel pollution and land use changes such as deforestation — are basically flat because land emissions are declining, the ...

1 day ago · Europe, which accounts for 7 per cent of the world's carbon pollution, saw its carbon dioxide output drop 3.8 per cent from last year - driven by a big cut in coal emissions. Carbon emissions are ...
Current GHG Levels | NOAA Climate.gov
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the largest contributor to global warming and ocean acidification.It contributes about 66% of the warming influence of all human-emitted GHGs—more than twice that of all others combined. Global atmospheric carbon dioxide has risen more than 50 percent since 1800, and it hit a new high of 422.03 parts per million in 2024.

Jun 7, 2024 · The amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has hit a new record, as humanity struggles to rein in emissions of greenhouse gasses from burning fossil fuels. The new...
Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
Apr 9, 2024 · The global average carbon dioxide set a new record high in 2023: 419.3 parts per million. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is now 50 percent higher than it was before the Industrial Revolution.
Carbon Dioxide Levels Have Passed a New Milestone
April 20, 2024. Carbon dioxide acts like Earth’s thermostat: The more of it in the air, the more the planet warms. In 2023, global levels of the greenhouse gas rose to 419 parts per million,...

Aug 22, 2024 · Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — Earth’s major atmospheric greenhouse gases — once again reached record high concentrations in 2023. Annual growth in global mean CO2 has increased from 0.6 ± 0.1 parts per million (ppm) per year in the early 1960s to an average of 2.5 ppm per year during the last decade of 2014–2023.

Apr 5, 2024 · Carbon dioxide, the most important and abundant of the greenhouse gases caused by humans, rose in 2023 by the third highest amount in 65 years of record keeping, NOAA announced Friday. Scientists are also worried about the rapid rise in atmospheric levels of methane, a shorter-lived but more potent heat-trapping gas.
