The accumulation proceeds &#8220;at a faster rate than at any other time in human history&#8221;: from 377.1 parts per million (ppm) in 2004, CO2 reached a record high of 420 ppm last year. <br\/><br\/>&#8220;Another year. Another record. This should set alarm bells ringing among politicians.  <br\/><br\/>We are clearly off track to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement,&#8221; warns Celeste Saulo, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which released its annual report on the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 2023 on October 28.<br\/><br\/><strong>Greenhouse gas levels &#8220;like 3-5 million years ago&#8221;<br\/><br\/><\/strong>The last time the Earth experienced a concentration of CO2 comparable to that of today was between 3 and 5 million years ago. The global temperature was 2-3\u00b0C higher than today, and sea levels were 10-20 meters higher. <br\/><br\/>The current value of carbon dioxide is 151% higher than the level of the pre-industrial era (before 1750). While for the other main greenhouse gases, methane and nitrogen oxides, they are 265% and 125% higher, respectively. The very rapid increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last two centuries means that the overall effect on the Earth&#8217;s climate system has yet to be fully shown. Meanwhile, from 1990 to 2023, the radiative forcing, or warming effect on our climate, caused by long-lived greenhouse gases increased by 51.5%. CO2 accounts for about 81% of this increase.    <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual bulletin of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) photographs the unprecedented growth of the last 20 years: carbon dioxide marks +11.4%.
