US: The Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels peaked more than 50 per cent higher than pre-industrial levels in May, comparable to levels seen about 4 million years ago, according to scientists. 美国:科学家表示,5月份,二氧化碳(CO2)浓度达到峰值,比工业化前水平高出50%以上,与大约400万年前的水平相当。 Th...

It is possible that clades of zooxanthellae not seen today may have occurred in past intervals of high temperature, the most recent being the temperature peaks of the Pliocene (5–2.6 million years ago), especially if temperature increase occurred sufficiently slowly for evolutionary adaptation to ...
The last time CO2 levels were as high as today, ocean waters drowned the lands where big cities like Houston, Miami, and New York City now exist. It’s a time called the Pliocene (上新世) or mid-Pliocene, some 3 million years ago, when sea levels were around 30 feet higher (but po...
that interglacial MS levels during the early Pleistocene (99 ± 28) are generally lower than those during the last 800 ky (154 ± 28), and most of the MS values (78 ± 11) of our 1.7–1.5 Ma samples fall below the MS range (99–227) over the last 800 ky....
it passed 400 parts per million this January, the earliest in the year it has exceeded thisbenchmark. ⑤Even if emissions stay flat, the world remains on course towards a temperature rise of around 3°C by 2100, compared with...
Junium 8 4,5, The emergence of forests on Earth (~385 million years ago, Ma)1 has been linked to an order-of-magnitude decline in atmospheric CO2 levels and global climatic cooling by altering continental weathering processes, but observa- tional constraints on atmospheric CO2 before the ...
played a distinct role in climate variability during the mPWP. They also facilitate ongoing data-model comparisons and suggest that, at present rates of human emissions, there will be more CO2in Earth’s atmosphere by 2025 than at any time in at least the last 3.3 million years....
Average annual atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) reached a record high of 424.61 parts per million (ppm) in 2024. Monthly atmospheric CO₂ concentrations peaked that year in June, at 426.91 ppm. Human activities have caused CO₂ concentrations to soar Annual CO₂ concentrations...
The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, Greenland was mostly green, sea levels were up to 20 meters higher and trees grew on Antarctica, according to scientists who warned this week that there is more CO2 in our atmosphere today than in the past three million years. Using a n...
