Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels reached a record high in 2024 due to persistent fossil fuel use, increased wildfires, and concerns over failing carbon sinks, as global heating negatively impacts CO2 absorption by oceans and vegetation. Additionally, methane and nitrous oxide emissions also hit record levels, with rising temperatures potentially exacerbating natural methane production in wetlands.
