One of the major drivers of the exceptional heat building within Earth’s atmosphere has reached levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced, officials announced on Thursday. Carbon dioxide, the gas that accounts for the majority of global warming caused by human activities, is accumulating “faster than ever,” scientists from NOAA, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California San Diego found.
“Over the past year, we’ve experienced the hottest year on record, the hottest ocean temperatures on record, and a seemingly endless string of heat waves, droughts, floods, wildfires and storms,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said in a press release. “Now we are finding that atmospheric CO2 levels are increasing faster than ever.”
All those bombs and planes and tanks and drones and machinery of death emit CO2 - also the burning rubble and bodies
Look around, we’re killing ourselves at every possible opportunity
It’s the factories in china, dude. Just like it has always been.
Yeah cause only china has factories.
Who does the vast majority of all manufacturing? Who does the vast majority of coal burning?
At least lower your phone if you are going to bring china into this. China is producing for us all.
We seriously need to lower consumption and sacrifice our way of life
It’s not regular people that are polluting it’s the big ass companies. Regular people can’t stop that.
