Last decade was Earth’s hottest ever as CO2 levels reach an 800,000-year high, says UN report

Industrial-level CO2 to formate conversion on Turing-structured electrocatalysts

Industrializing the electrosynthesis of formate from CO2 reduction in membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolysers necessitates tuning both electrocatalysts and the interfacial water microenvironment. Here we cast a series of Turing-structured topology electrocatalysts, which can control the reorientation of interfacial water through the tuning of surface oxophilicity, for industrial-level conversion of CO2 to formate. Experimental and theore…

When Will We Reach 1.5 C of Warming? And How Will Climate Scientists Know?

As the world gets closer to the mark 1.5 degrees Celsius in Paris climate agreement, scientists are racing to establish a single way to monitor current warming

Past decade sets new record for global temperatures

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded, making the last 10 years the warmest in nearly two centuries of data collection.Delger Erdenesanaa reports for The New York Times.In short:Global temperatures in 2024 averaged 1.55 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, surpassing the previous record set in 2023.Greenhouse gas concentrations, including carbon dioxide and methane, reached leve…

Past 10 years also the hottest 10 since record-keeping began: UN weather agency

The latest WMO report revealed that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached their highest point in 800,000 years. On a global scale, each of the last ten years ranks among the ten hottest on record

Last decade was Earth's hottest ever

Last year was the hottest year on record, the top 10 hottest years were all in the past decade and planet-heating carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are at an 800,000-year high, a report Wednesday said.
