World Falling Short on #Methane Pledge, #UN Report Finds
Four years ago, over 100 countries signed a pledge to cut global methane #emissions by 30 percent by 2030. The greenhouse gas is released by the burning of #fossilfuels, leaky #landfills and industrial #agriculture. It warms the planet up to 80 times more than #carbondioxide over two decades and is responsible for roughly a third of all #globalwarming.

#Karoly , who was not involved in the #research said on a global scale the share of #CarbonDioxide absorbed by forests, trees, and plants had been quite stable over the past 20 to 30 years, which was assumed to continue under many #ClimateModels and policies.

But if similar shifts – from sink to source – were observed in other #rainforests, #ClimateProjections may underestimate #GlobalWarming in future. “Which is bad news,” he said.

World Meteorological Report Marks Biggest Annual Jump in #CO2 Levels
Surging #emissions from #wildfires may have been behind the increase, which was the largest since modern measurements began more than half a century ago.
Human activities, mainly burn #coal, #oil and #gas for energy, have been driving #carbondioxide concentrations higher and higher for more than half a century. Last year was Earth’s hottest year in recorded history.

Carbon Dioxide Levels Rose Record Amount in 2024, Experts Warn of Feedback Loop

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose by the largest amount ever recorded in 2024, the UN has reported, as researchers warn of the dangers of feedback loops that are pushing the climate crisis to new heights and many global powers do nothing to mitigate emissions. According to the latest bulletin by the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO)…

Government told to prepare for 2C warming by #2050
#ClimateChangeCommittee said they would advise #UK prepare for #climatechange beyond long-term temperature goal set out in #ParisAgreement. The letter came as the World Meteorological Organization (#WMO) confirmed that 2024 had seen a record rise of #carbondioxide in the atmosphere. #CO2 is the gas mainly responsible for human-caused climate change and is released when #fossilfuels are burnt, as well as other activities.

Significant Surge in Atmospheric CO2 Raises Concern Over Weakening Carbon Sinks and Accelerating Climate Change

In 2024, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere surged by a record amount, reaching 424 parts per million, the highest since measurements began in 1957. This sharp increase, driven by continued fossil fuel burning, extreme wildfires fueled by hotter and drier conditions, and concerns over the weake... [More info]

UN agency says C02 levels hit record high last year, causing more extreme weather

Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year, soaring to a level not seen in human civilization and “turbo-charging” the Earth’s climate and causing more extreme weather, the United Nations weather agency said Wednesday.

The World Meteorological Organization said in its latest bulletin on greenhouse gases, an annual study released ahead of the U.N.’s annual climate conference, that C02 growth rates have now tripled since the 1960s, and reached levels not seen in at least 800,000 years.

Why #windfarms attract so much #misinformation and #conspiracytheory
If you think #climatechange is a #hoax, you might believe #windturbines poison #groundwater.
Although we’ve known about #climate change from #carbondioxide as since at least 1950s, early arguments for #renewables tended to be seen more as a way of breaking stranglehold of #fossilfuel companies.
Meanwhile, advocates of renewables—especially wind—often found it difficult to build public support for wind.

Science in 1980

"The most widely accepted calculations carried on thusfar on the potential impact of a doubling of #CarbonDioxide on #climate indicate that an increase in the global average temperature of 3±1.5°C is most likely. Such changes in temperature are expected to occur with uneven geographic distribution, with greater #warming occuring at the higher latitudes i.e., the #PolarRegions. This is due to the presumed change in the reflectivity of the Earth due to melting of the ice and snow cover ..."
