It’s official - the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) says that unprecedented global temperatures from June onwards led 2023 to become the warmest year on record – overtaking by a large margin 2016, the previous warmest year.

The abundance of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere once again reached a new record last year and there is no end in sight to the rising trend, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has announced twelve new projects which will receive £16 million to restore peatlands across England.

A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is warning that atmospheric levels of the three main greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - all reached new record highs in 2021.

The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has released its annual findings which show that globally 2021 was among the seven warmest on record.

The National Audit Office is warning that achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the UK is a colossal challenge and government will need to spearhead a concerted national effort if it is to reach its goal by 2050.

During 2019 Met Office climate scientists expect to see one of the largest rises in atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentration in 62 years of measurements and warn that each year’s CO2 is higher than the last.

There is already enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to lead to more floods and droughts over the next 25 years, the government’s chief scientist has said.

Researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton have found that greenhouse gas concentrations similar to the present (almost 400 parts per million) were systematically associated with sea levels at least nine metres above current levels

The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, the latest Royal Society report has found.
