Global CO2 emissions from Global Carbon Project (GCP) in 2025
The image shows the cumulated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by human activities from 1850 till 2025, and the thresholds of CO2 emissions corresponding to global temperature changes of 1.5 °C and 2 °C. Every ton of CO2 emitted by human activities increases global temperature for millennia to come ( https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate2923 ).
these days, lots of news shown the el nino 2026 is forming. it's forecasted that the 2026 might be the hottest year in the record, due to both the el nino and global warming. thus, you might wondering about the previous el ninos, how the el nino scale and global temperature are collected. voila this video.
