Carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere faster than at any other time in human existence and has increased more than 10 percent in just two decades, according to a report published on the World Meteorological Organization website.

It was added that carbon dioxide emissions caused by large forest fires, as well as a possible reduction in the amount of carbon absorbed by forests, combined with high levels of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels, contributed to this. .

”This should sound the alarm among decision makers. It is clear that we are not on track to meet the goal set by the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming and reducing temperatures to below two degrees Celsius, with a target of 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. It is not just a statistic, because a temperature increase of just a fraction of a degree affects our lives and the planet,” said the director general of the World Meteorological Organization, Celeste Saulo.

The WMO emissions report is also published to provide information to the United Nations Climate Change Conference.

In the 20 years since the report was published, the level of carbon dioxide emissions has increased by 11.4 percent.

The report warns us that we are facing a potentially dangerous cycle. In the near future, climate change could lead to ecosystems becoming greater sources of harmful gas emissions, warns WMO Deputy Secretary-General Ko Barrett.
