Last year alone global levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global climate change, increased by 0.6 percent, or 19 billion tons. Additionally methane rose by 27 million tons after nearly a decade with little or no increase.
There has been lots of talk about what we need to do to bring the emissions of carbon dioxide down, but we are not seeing any results yet. The methane increase is really scary if this indeed is a portent of future increases in emissions as the result of warming in the Arctic.
