There is now more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than ever before for at least four million years, scientists say.
Climate the amount of warming carbon dioxide rose in May to a level higher than ever before in human history, says National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Federal Organization for Meteorological and Oceanic Research. News about it The New York Times.
The average global temperature is now about 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than in the pre-industrial period, scientists say. Pre-industrial times refer to the period before the 1850s, when the use of fossil fuels to heat the climate had not yet begun on a large scale.
Carbon dioxide as the number increases in the atmosphere, the planet is constantly warming. As a result, millions of people around the world are suffering from increasing extreme weather events, such as increased heavy rainfall, storms and floods, extreme heat and drought, and worsening forest fires. They, in turn, can increase famine, conflict and migration.
Rising CO2 levels prove that countries’ progress towards the Paris target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in 2015 has not been as desirable. 1.5 degrees is the limit above which the likelihood of the catastrophic effects of climate change has been calculated to increase significantly.
In order to achieve the 1.5 ° C target of the Paris Agreement, climate neutrality of emissions should be achieved by 2050.
Published by the IPCC earlier in the spring climate report according to which emissions should be reduced immediately.
