Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.

Carbon Dioxide In Atmosphere Up By Record Amount In 2024
The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere last year was the highest ever recorded, the United Nations said, calling for urgent action to slash emissions.

India's Power-Sector CO2 Emissions Drop Again In Over 4 Decades: Report
India's carbon dioxide emissions from its power sector declined by 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025 on strong clean energy additions and lower power demand, data from a research report showed, marking only the second drop in nearly 50 years.

James Webb Spots Bizarre Planet-Forming Disk Full of Carbon Dioxide
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in star system XUE 10 within NGC 6357, challenges current models of planetary formation and may reshape our understanding of habitable worlds.

James Webb Detects Carbon Dioxide–Dominated Coma in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object detected in our solar system. Its coma is unusually rich in carbon dioxide with little water or carbon monoxide, suggesting a CO₂-rich core or an insulating crust. Findings raise new questions about its cosmic origin.

Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water
NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

Explained: How Carbon Capture Works, Its Role In Future Climate Solution
Power plants and industrial facilities that emit carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming, are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and storing it deep underground.

How The End Of Carbon Capture Could Spark A New Industrial Revolution
The U.S. Department of Energy's decision to claw back US$3.7 billion in grants from industrial demonstration projects may create an unexpected opening for American manufacturing.

Rock On: How Crushed Stone Could Help Fight Climate Change
From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland globally in a novel bid to combat climate change. The technique is called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).

World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.
