UN Warns of ‘Extremely Dangerous’ Climate Era as CO2 Levels Spike at Record Rate

The United Nations weather agency has declared the world is entering an “extremely dangerous” climate era after carbon dioxide levels recorded their largest annual spike in human history. According to the World Meteorological Organization’s latest bulletin, CO2 growth rates have now tripled since the 1960s, reaching concentrations not seen in at least 800,000 years.

Unprecedented CO2 Surge Signals Climate Emergency

The United Nations weather agency has warned that the world is entering an “extremely dangerous” climate era after carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year. According to reports from the World Meteorological Organization, the increase in the global average concentration of CO2 from 2023 to 2024 represented the highest annual level since measurements began in 1957.
