Earlier this week, the International Energy Administration announced that emissions reached a record high last year, increasing by 1 Gt worldwide. At the Bonn climate talks, experts have warned that the window to curb a global temperature rise of more than 2 degrees is swiftly drawing to a close.

Scientists are seeing these high . . . → Read More: DeSmogBlog: 400 PPM Carbon Dioxide Concentrations Breach The Arctic |
