Greenhouse Gas Emissions Soaring at Alarming Rate

A recent report is raising the alarm on gas emissions, which hit “an all-time high” and are causing global warming at an unprecedented rate over the past decade.
This increase adds to evidence that Earth is approaching a “point of no return,” with catastrophic outcomes such as widespread flooding, heatwaves and famines looming, Study Finds website reported.
Equivalent to an annual release of 54 billion tons of carbon dioxide, these levels have halved the remaining carbon budget intended to give us a better than 50% chance of keeping climate change to 1.5°C within the past three years.
A team of 50 international experts has initiated a project to provide yearly updates on key climate indicators, ensuring timely awareness of crucial aspects.
“Decisions made now will have an impact on how much temperatures will rise and the degree and severity of impacts we will see as a result. Long-term warming rates are currently at a long-term high, caused by highest-ever levels of greenhouse gas emissions. But there is evidence that the rate of increase in greenhouse gas emissions has slowed,” says Professor Piers Forster, the project’s coordinator from the University of Leeds. 
“We need to be nimble-footed in the face of climate change. Time is no longer on our side.”
