Global carbon emissions reach a new record high in 2024, with scientists warning that there's still no sign of a peak. According to a recent report, humans emitted 41.2 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere last year, a 0.8% increase from 2023. This rate puts the world on track for global warming to consistently exceed the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement within six years. Researchers emphasize the urgent need for rapid decarbonization and deep cuts in fossil fuel emissions to meet climate goals.
