US EditionGlobal CO2 emissions to hit record high in 2024: Global Carbon Budget report
- Global Carbon emissions have reached a record high of 41.6 billion metric tons in 2024, increasing from 40.6 billion in 2023, according to the Global Carbon Budget report.
- Both fossil fuel use and land-use change are up from 2023 levels, contributing to the rise in emissions.
- The report warns that there is a 50% chance temperature rise will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius within about six years at the current emission rates.

The main activity of the human being that emits CO2 is the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) to generate energy and for transport purposes, although certain industrial processes and changes in land use also emit CO2. The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will reach a historic record in 2024, reflecting insufficient progress in reducing the use of fossil fuels and changing land use. According to the Global Carbon …
Baku, Azerbaijan.- Although the Earth beats new heat records, this year humanity is pumping 330 million tons (300 million metric tons) more carbon dioxide into the air by burning fossil fuels than it did last year. This year, the world is on track to throw 41.2 billion tons (37.4 billion metric tons) of the main gas that traps heat into the atmosphere. It is an increase of 0.8 per cent over 2023, according to Global Carbon Project, a group of sc…
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels will reach a record high in 2024, according to new research from the Global Carbon Project scientific team. The 37.4 trillion tons of carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 0.8% since 2023. Despite the urgent need to cut emissions to slow climate change, researchers say there is no sign yet that the world has reached peak fossil carbon emissions. To be sure, the remaining carbon budget is alm…
Emissions continue to rise: In 2024, humanity will burn more oil, gas and coal than ever before. The peak? Unfortunately not. more...
Oil, gas and coal are driving climate change. According to a study, the use of these fossil fuels releases more than 37 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere - another record. In order to achieve the 1.5 degree target, emissions would have to be reduced to zero soon.
