The world is sounding the alarm. Unprecedented levels reached

The report stated that approximately half of the total amount of carbon dioxide released each year remains in the atmosphere, while the rest is absorbed by land ecosystems and oceans, and pointed out that the rate of carbon dioxide increase has tripled since the 1960s.

The report stated that the average annual increase rate of 0.8 ppm (parts per million) reached an annual average of 2.4 ppm in the 2011-2020 period, and pointed out that the global average carbon dioxide concentration increased by 2.8 ppm from 2024 to 2025.

WMO Deputy Secretary-General Ko Barrett, whose views are included in the report, said: "Another year, another record. Greenhouse gases trap unprecedented amounts of heat in the atmosphere, fueling more extreme weather events and the resulting risks to our economies and societies. We have left behind the 11 hottest years since record keeping began, and this trend looks set to continue." made his assessment.

Barrett noted that carbon dioxide has a very long lifespan and stated that this situation will continue to affect the global climate for centuries.
