Greenhouse Gas Emission Sets Record in 2020

With the whole world shutting down in 2020, due to various similar reasons such as the almost non-existence of travel, the absence of vehicle traffic on the streets and the closure of factories.the world healsRumors and news about ‘ were on the agenda. World Meteorological Organization (WMO), published by Greenhouse Gas Bulletin presented data that proved the exact opposite of this belief.

Petteri Taalas, WMO Secretary General, Record-breaking emissions in 2020 shared his knowledge. The concentration of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere reaches 413.2 parts per million, and this annual increase highest level since 2011 Taalas stated that this situation is beneficial for daily life, health, our planet and future generations. will lead to negative consequences says.

Even if emissions drop to zero, temperatures will remain the same for several decades:

Taals stated that global greenhouse gas emissions have reached an uncontrollable level and said, “If the current increase in greenhouse gas emissions continues, A temperature higher than the Paris Agreement’s target We will see an increase.” used the phrase. The Paris Climate Agreement covers 175 countries, including Turkey. The agreement reflects the current global temperature rise compared to the pre-industrial period between 1850 and 1900. Do not reduce it to 0.5 degrees or exceed 2 degrees aims.

The growing world population Stating that there is a problem in preventing the temperature increase, Taals said, “As long as the oscillations continue at this rate, the global temperature will continue to increase. Considering that carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that stays in the atmosphere for the longest time, even if the emissions are reduced to zero, the current temperature level is in the future. for several decades will continue.” said.
