Recent reports and scientific forecasts indicate that carbon dioxide emissions are on track for one of the largest increases on record this year, with the potential to push the planet closer to catastrophic climate change. Scientists have confirmed that trawling is contributing to the destruction of sea life and habitats, while also releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The Met Office has predicted that the increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere this year will surpass trajectories set for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. They emphasize that drastic emissions cuts are necessary to maintain this target. Additionally, the rise on the Keeling Curve is tracking higher than the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C cap, with a forecasted rise of 2.84 ± 0.54 ppm for 2024, and El Niño is partly responsible for the forecasted CO2 spike. This suggests that there is no sign of a slowdown in the rise of CO2 levels, and the forecasts include data up to 2023.
My monthly #Arctic temperature graphics have been updated for December 2023. I am in the process of updating the yearly graphics too, which are mostly done except for the dataset comparisons: https://t.co/QEaNIX4gLG

BREAKING: scientists confirm forests are surpassing climate thresholds becoming sources of carbon creating more warming and accelerating planetary catastrophe 🧵
Carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere faster than what is needed to limit global temperatures to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, the Met Office has said ✍️: @DannyHalpin17 https://t.co/OieC8pU00L

Our forecast of the atmospheric CO2 rise for 2024 is out 🧵 To limit global warming to 1.5°C, the build-up of CO2 in the air would need to stop very soon But with a rise of 2.84 ± 0.54 ppm expected this year, there's no sign that the CO2 rise is slowing https://t.co/ITIkWU4nXb https://t.co/SKz0l2BtFL
Increased #carbondioxide in the atmosphere this year will exceed key trajectories for limiting warming to 1.5C, #Britain’s Met Office predicts, with researchers reaffirming that that only “drastic” emissions cuts can keep the target in sight. https://t.co/mcXNKVjYQf
