AI Overview





No, the increase in atmospheric CO2 is not slowing
; in fact, the annual rate of increase reached a record high between 2023 and 2024. While the growth rate of total global emissions has slightly slowed in the past decade due to declining land-use emissions and growth in clean energy, this has not been enough to counteract rising fossil fuel emissions and the atmospheric CO2 concentration continues to climb at a rapid pace.

  • Record-breaking annual increase: The period between 2023 and 2024 saw the largest ever annual increase in atmospheric CO2, rising by nearly

    parts per million (ppm) to a new high of over

    ppm. This extended the streak of more than 2 ppm increases to 12 consecutive years.
  • Slowing overall emissions vs. atmospheric levels: Global CO2 emissions have seen a slowdown in growth compared to previous decades. This is because declines in land-use emissions have partially compensated for increasing fossil fuel emissions. Clean energy growth is also playing a role in limiting the growth rate of emissions.
  • Atmospheric CO2 accumulation: Despite the slower growth rate of emissions, the amount of CO2 being added to the atmosphere each year is still very high, and CO2 is accumulating. The natural carbon sinks (like oceans and forests) are struggling to absorb the excess CO2, and their capacity is being reduced by rising global temperatures.
  • Implications: The continued rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 means that efforts to limit global warming to
