WASHINGTON: Despite all the efforts to reduce the emission of polluting gases, according to a new report, the amount of gases released into the Earth’s atmosphere will continue to increase in 2023.
According to a new report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the increase in the three major gases in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide due to human activities, has not been the same as in previous years, but the increase during the last decade On the way.
“We have a lot of work to do to get meaningful results in reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Wanda Grubisky, director of the agency’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (which collects and analyzes air samples).
According to scientists, carbon dioxide is considered the main greenhouse gas.
The laboratory’s analysis suggests that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases by 2.8 parts per million in 2023. The 12-month average increase of 419.3 ppm is a 50 percent increase from pre-industrial levels of carbon dioxide.
Last year was the 12th consecutive year in which global concentrations increased by more than 2 ppm, the longest increase in carbon dioxide survival rates in the agency’s 65 years of monitoring.
