It is getting hotter and hotter – the glaciers are melting faster and faster – emissions are reaching ever new record levels. Are all efforts to save the world climate too late? Have we already totally lost our breeding instinct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the concentration of greenhouse gases has reached its highest level in at least a million years. This was just announced by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)<\/a> for the year 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"CO2-Konzentration<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In 1900, the CO2<\/sub> content in the atmosphere was 280 ppm (particles per million particles). In 1940 it was already 310 ppm, in 2000 about 370 ppm and in 2021 it was exactly 414.7 ppm. The new record value for one million years. That is exactly 2.3 ppm more than in the year before. So also last year no decrease, but a further increase – despite the Paris promise of all 196 governments in 2015 to reach the 1.5 degree target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new numbers come as little surprise, but are a disaster nonetheless, because according to the same report, the years between 2015 and 2021 will be the warmest since records began 140 years ago. NOAA further shares that ocean temperatures and sea level rise have also reached new record highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rise in methane levels<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The rise in methane levels is downright frightening. This has accelerated dramatically since 2014 and a methane molecule pollutes the climate about 30 times more than a CO2<\/sub> molecule. For 2021, scientists have measured the largest increase in methane increases since 1880. The three greenhouse gases CO2<\/sub>, methane, and dioxide monoxide reached record levels in 2021. This annual report from NOAA is based on input from 530 staff from more than 60 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate experts have been warning about the tipping points of the climate crisis for years. Tipping points are developments after which there will be no turning back<\/p>\n\n\n\n
