New data shows Earth's carbon problem keeps growing despite climate warnings
Scientists track record-breaking carbon dioxide release into Earthʼs atmosphere this year. Global emissions went up by 330-million tons while experts say we need huge cuts by 2030
The Global Carbon Project scientists found troubling news about our planets carbon output. World-wide fossil-fuel burning pushed an extra 330-million tons of CO2 into the air compared to last yr
Earthʼs total carbon-dioxide emissions reached 41.2-billion tons (thats almost 1000 times more than in the mid-1900s)‚ marking a point-eight percent rise from 2023. The numbers show how far we are from meeting climate-change goals: UN experts say Earth needs a forty-two percent drop in emissions before 2030
The gap between where we are and where we need-to-be keeps growing — our current path doesnt match with international agreements that aim to control global temps. Scientists track these numbers using high-tech monitoring systems that measure atmospheric changes world-wide
