Damning climate change report reveals how records were smashed for greenhouse gas concentrations, global temperatures and sea level rise last year - as experts warn '2023 will linger long in the memor

Daily Mail  

A damning climate change report has confirmed that 2023 was a year of new climate records. The report, titled State of the Climate, shows that greenhouse gas concentrations were the highest on record last year, with carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide all reaching their highest measured atmospheric levels. It highlights six key climate change records that were smashed in …

The Independent  

The science of climate change is more solid and widely agreed upon than you might think. But when it comes to climate change, there is virtually no debate: numerous studies have found that more than 90 per cent of scientists who study Earth’s climate agree that the planet is warming and that humans are the primary cause. That’s because warmer …

Climate change may double greenhouse gas emissions from freshwater lakes: Study

India TV News  

Climate change may cause the levels of greenhouse gases emitted by freshwater northern lakes to increase by between 1.5 and 2.7 times, according to a study. "What we've traditionally called 'carbon' in freshwater turns out to be a super-diverse mixture of different carbon-based organic molecules," said Andrew Tanentzap from Cambridge, who led the research published in the journal PNAS. An …
