Greenhouse gas concentrations hit record last year, UN says

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hit a record high last year despite temporary declines during the pandemic.

Greenhouse gas concentrations grew at a faster pace than the annual average from 2011 through 2020, according to the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) Greenhouse Gas Bulletin published Monday.

Specifically, levels of carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas, surged to 149 percent of the pre-industrial level or the levels before 1750, when humans “started disrupting Earth’s natural equilibrium.”

All that gas is from Biden's diapers.

How many years we got left according to A-O-C?

[dsrtsage]

Wow almost 0.042% of the atmosphere

[Steely Tom]

What happened to the ozone layer and deforestation? Those problems been solved?

[knarf]

What about that Russian comet that zipped through the atmosphere frying everything around it for hundreds, maybe thousands of miles ?

[wild74]

Yes all that stinking CO2 has caused trees to grow at recorded pace

I heard “The Hill” was bought out by conservatives, but you could fool me.

There is no way to know this. Reference this comment from the Dixie Fire in California that burned nearly a million acres. From Calfire:

“An estimated $1 Billion dollars of timber has been destroyed. Substantial losses of private and public timberlands have released decades of sequestered carbon, releasing it into the atmosphere with uncalculatable impacts to green house gas accumulations.”

If they can’t calculate for a million acres, how can they calculate for the entire planet? Liars.

Better headline:
“UN admits past three decades of Socialist climate regulations are an abject failure. Demands more of same”.

[EastTexasTraveler]

All of this is totally meaningless.

Ice core data for atmospheric CO2 concentrations is very suspect . The underlying assumptions behind the method are unsound and fraught with problematic technical and methodological sources of error

[WKUHilltopper]

BS, UN. And FU.

WMO? World Morons Oprions?

[Pete Dovgan]

The UN says methane is up. CO2 from burning fossil fuels, i get that, but why is methane up? More termites?

Regarding alleged record greenhouse gas concentrations in 2020, UN needs to explain why WMO failed to predict the following easier to verify imo, mostly post-2020 cold weather events.

From related thread...

Regarding alleged global warming, government elites need to explain why CO2 fails to keep the heat down in the midday shadow of a solar eclipse.

Solar eclipse 2017: How much did the temperature change during the eclipse? (8.22.17)

They can also explain why global warming alarmists failed to predict other relatively recent cold weather events.

• Antarctica's last 6 months were the coldest on record (10.9.21)

• So Far Germany Seeing Coldest April In 104 Years, Second Coldest Since 1881, Snowiest Since 1986 (4.20.21)

• Icy weather chills Texas wind energy as deep freeze grips much of U.S. [Windmills freeze] (2.15.21)

• UK cold weather: River Thames freezes over for first time in 60 years – PICTURED (2.13.21)

• Rare snowfall in Malibu [CA] results in flurry of excitement (1.24.21)

• Ice covers the Sahara Desert for just 4th time in 50 years (1.22.21)

• Massive Snowfall Blankets Spain – Heaviest Snowfall in the Region in 50 Years (1.12.21)

• Record freeze on Lake Ontario as 4,700 square miles of ice forms on Great Lakes IN ONE NIGHT (2.19.15)

• Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions (9.18.19)

Insights welcome.

WATER VAPOR is the most important greenhouse gas, not CO2.

[griswold3]

Last year? There was a plandemic with the economy shut down. No one with two brain cell you can rub together will believe this.

You’d think they’d wait a little longer (2021) and say the increased activity created a record greenhouse gas level. DumbMasses.

🐄💩

[BiglyCommentary]

“or the levels before 1750”

So some numb skull picked 1750 as having the perfect temp for the planet?

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Yea, sorry. That’s all my fault. You see they opened a Taco Bell here in town, and we don’t have many choices (small town), so.......
