A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into the ...

The claim: CO2 from humans represents 3.2% of total CO2 in the atmosphere and 0.12% of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere A June 14 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) uses pie charts to ...

The CO2 emitted from burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes traps heat in Earth's atmosphere and contributes to the amplified effects of wildfires, flooding and other extreme weather.

Atmospheric CO2 reached an average of 424 parts per million in May, an increase of 3 parts per million over the same time last year. NOAA says this is the fourth steepest single-year climb it has ...

The CO2 emitted from burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes traps heat in Earth's atmosphere and contributes to the amplified effects of wildfires, flooding and other extreme weather.

If the present-day atmospheric CO2 concentration rose to 20%, "the oceans would likely boil," Lofverstrom said. History shows plants and animals have survived in lower CO2 atmosphere ...

It is one of the largest annual May-to-May increases in carbon dioxide levels on record, behind only 2016 and 2019, which had jumps of 3.7 and 3.4 parts per million. “To me as an atmospheric ...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2023 measured levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that haven't been as high for millions of years. Atmospheric CO2 reached an average ...

The CO2 emitted from burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes traps heat in Earth's atmosphere and contributes to the amplified effects of wildfires, flooding and other extreme weather.

There's now more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere than ever before in human history, scientists have revealed. For the first time on record, monthly average CO2 levels exceeded 430 parts per ...

Scientists can track carbon dioxide in two ways. One is through direct measures of CO2 levels in the atmosphere – as Scripps scientists have been doing at the Mauna Loa observatory.
