Carbon Dioxide Levels

The 2024 Greenhouse Gas Bulletin highlights that both industrial emissions and reduced forest absorption have accelerated this increase.

A 2023 report assessed 35 key indicators, with 25 showing worsening trends, including carbon dioxide levels and population growth.

Antarctica, which is nearly four times the size of the United States, was not always covered in ice. The last time it was ice-free was 34 million years ago during the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. At that time, global temperatures were higher, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today. However, a significant drop in CO2 l...

Industrialised nations of the Global North, such as the US and Germany, are responsible for 90 percent of excessive levels of carbon dioxide emissions, and could be liable to pay a total of USD 170 trillion in compensation to low-emitters like India.

Carbon dioxide levels are currently more than 50% than they were before the industrial revolution, according to a recently released data by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The amount of carbon in Earth's atmosphere in May reached its highest level in modern history, a global indicator released on Monday showed.

A new research reassessing the atmosphere’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) helps narrow down the range of temperature rise caused by doubling of CO2 levels since pre-industrial times.

Last month carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere surpassed 415 parts per million, the highest in human history. Environmental experts say the world is increasingly on a path toward a climate crisis.

Scientists in the United States have detected the highest levels of planet-warming carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere since records began, sounding new alarm over the relentless rise of man-made greenhouse gas emissions..26

maker Tesla Inc hundreds of millions of euros so that the vehicles of Tesla are counted in its fleet to avoid fines for violating new European Union emission rules, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The step will let the Italian carmaker offset carbon dioxide emissions from its cars against Tesla's, by bringing down its average figure to a pe...

The amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere grew at record rate in 2016 to a level not seen for millions of years, potentially fueling a 20-metre rise in sea levels and adding 3 degrees to temperatures, the United Nations said on Monday.

Installing air purifiers in classrooms is "impractical" and can trigger a spike in the levels of Carbon dioxide instead of containing air pollution, experts have opined.

India will not be able to meet its Paris climate agreement commitments in the coming years if the country goes ahead with its plans to build nearly 370 coal-fired power plants, US researchers have claimed. India has pledged to the international community to reduce its emissions intensity - the amount of carbon dioxide released per unit of gross dom...

An overwhelming number of scientists say carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels contributes to changes to the climate that are leading to sea level rise, droughts and more frequent violent storms
