CO2 most in 8 million years
The carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide levels present in the atmosphere are the highest in 8 million years. In the year 2024, these gases continued to rise. Compared to the year 1750, it has increased by 151%. Since carbon dioxide can remain in the atmosphere for generations. In such a situation, it keeps stopping heat for a long time, which is a major cause of global warming.
Sea is the hottest in 65 years
The rising heat in the oceans has set new records. Actually, 90% of the heat that prevents greenhouse gas is contained in the sea. In the year 2024, sea heat reached the top of 65 years. Statistics suggest that the sea is getting doubled at a speed compared to the period from 1960 to 2005. This makes the glaciers melt. Ever since satellite monitoring has started, the water level of the sea has doubled.
