GHGs rose at alarming rate: NOAA

Record temperatures, devastating floods and superstorms are causing death and destruction across the planet but humans are failing to cut greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) fueling the climate emergency, new US data shows. Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide – the greenhouse gases emitted by human activity that are the most significant

Global carbon dioxide increased to highest levels in May 2022: NOAA

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the main US climate agency, concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere in May this year were 50 percent higher than during the pre-industrial era, reaching levels not seen on Earth for about four million years. The global warming caused by humans – through the production of

Methane in atmosphere increased by record high in 2021

Atmospheric levels of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, increased by a record amount for the second year in a row in 2021, according to US government data. The concentration of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere jumped by 17 parts per billion (ppb) in 2021, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) monitoring found, the largest annual
