Greenhouse gases reach new record high levels in 2021: UN weather agency
The three main greenhouse gases hit record high levels in the atmosphere last year, the UN weather agency said on Wednesday, calling it an ominous sign as war in Ukraine, rising costs of food and fuel, and other worries have elbowed in on longtime concerns about global warming in recent months.
More bad news for the planet, the World Meteorological Organisation said in a statement along with its latest annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. It’s one of several reports released in recent days looking at several aspects of humanity’s struggle with climate change in the run up to the UN’s latest climate conference, in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
