Recent studies suggest that Earth's current oxygen-rich atmosphere, which has been a stable condition for millions of years, is not a permanent state. Instead, it is predicted to transition back to a methane-dominated atmosphere similar to its composition billions of years ago. While this atmospheric shift is not expected for another billion years, scientists anticipate a rapid and significant transformation once it commences.

Atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases reached an all-time high last year, with no signs of abating, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas, were 50% above pre-industrial levels in 2022, marking a significant milestone. While the rate of growth in CO2 concentrations slightly decreased compared to the previous year, the overall trend continues to rise, fueled by ongoing industrial activities.

Emission reductions in the 11 high-income countries that have managed to "decouple" CO2 emissions from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been deemed insufficient to meet the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from wildfires that have been gradually increasing since 2000, spiked drastically to a record high in 2021,...

Carbon dioxide emissions rose by under one per cent in 2022, which was less than initially feared with the growth of solar,...

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) from atmosphere is crucial for limiting global warming, in addition to rapid cuts to emissions, according to the...
