"The heat trapped by CO2 and other greenhouse gases is turbo-charging our climate and leading to more extreme weather,"
"Reducing emissions is therefore essential not just for our climate but also for our economic security and community well-being."
"Sustaining and expanding greenhouse gas monitoring are critical to support such efforts,"
"There is concern that terrestrial and ocean CO2 sinks are becoming less effective, which will increase the amount of CO2 that stays in the atmosphere, thereby accelerating global warming,"
Global average atmospheric carbon dioxide rose by 3.5 parts per million between 2023 and 2024, the largest annual increase since systematic measurements began in 1957. The average annual rise during 2011–2020 was 2.4 ppm. Heat trapped by CO2 and other greenhouse gases is intensifying the climate and generating more extreme weather. Rapid reduction of emissions is essential for climate stability, economic security, and community well-being. Expanded and sustained greenhouse gas monitoring is critical. Oceans and terrestrial systems are absorbing less CO2, weakening natural sinks and accelerating warming, increasing risks of wildfires, heatwaves, storms, floods, and droughts.
