- A 2018 UN World Meteorological Organization report highlights the increase in CO2 and the increase in CO2 emissions.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) estimates that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018 increased by 0.56% compared to 2017. "The agreement signed in Paris by the international authorities will not work against these emissions," the organization said in a statement.
In fact, the WTO has ensured that "there is no indication that greenhouse gas emissions will be lowered". This can have serious consequences according to the WTO, such as rising temperatures, rising average sea levels or disrupting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Record house gas concentrations in the atmosphere, as reported by @WMO today, means long-term #climatechange, rising temperatures and extreme weather. The @UN Climate Conference #COP25 in Madrid must provide an adequate response. Read more > https://t.co/kf3qaEG2sS pic.twitter.com/ZOTMv7IOc3

Data almost never seen
According to the secretary general of the organization, Petteri Taalás, the current carbon dioxide accumulation numbers "were only known on the planet three million - and five million years ago", although he has specified that at that time "the temperature was two or three degrees higher than now and the sea level was 10 to 20 meters higher." This week the 25th edition of the Aste Nagusia of Madrid was held. The meeting, to be held at the Conference Palace and the Climate Summit, will be discussed.
