Global Fossil CO2 Emissions Hit Record High in 2024: Here's What You Need to Know
Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2024 at 37.4 billion tonnes, up 0.8% from 2023, according to the Global Carbon Project. Despite progress in renewables and climate efforts, fossil fuel use has not yet peaked, raising concerns about reaching global warming limits. With 41.6 billion tonnes of CO2 projected overall, scie...

Ancient Log Discovery in Canada Shows How Wood Burial Could Be Key to Affordable Carbon Storage
A 3,775-year-old log, found by climate scientist Ning Zeng's team in Canada, has shown the potential of buried wood for long-term carbon storage. When covered by clay, the log retained most of its carbon, hinting at a cost-effective, natural solution for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. Researchers suggest this low-cost strategy could lock away car...

Thawing Permafrost Releases Greenhouse Gases, Contributing to Global Warming
Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

Satellite Data Confirms Climate Crisis as Sea Level and Global Temperature Rises
Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

Climate Change Could Make Earth's Oldest Microorganisms Dominant in Oceans, Study Reveals
New research highlights a significant shift in marine ecosystems due to climate change. Prokaryotes, the oldest and smallest microorganisms on Earth, are expected to become more dominant as ocean temperatures rise. These microorganisms, which include bacteria and archaea, play a crucial role in marine nutrient cycles and food chains. However, their...

IMF Says Crypto Industry's Carbon Footprint Rising; Officials Mull Tax Surge to Curb Emissions
IMF officials have raised concerns about the crypto sector's carbon emissions and are considering whether a tax increase on crypto mining could help reduce its carbon footprint. In a blog post, the officials suggested that an 85 percent tax hike on power usage by crypto miners could potentially cut the sector's annual emissions by an estimated 100 ...

Forests Emit Carbon Dioxide for Years After Wildfires, Study Finds
A recent study has found that forests destroyed by wildfires continue to emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) for years after the flames die down. The research, conducted in Sweden’s boreal forests, revealed that burnt areas release CO₂ at a rate that more than doubles the amount emitted during the fire itself. These findings are particularly concerning...
