Greenhouse gases accelerated to new peak in 2018, UN says | CBC News
The UN agency’s Greenhouse Gas Bulletin is one of a series of studies to be published ahead of a UN climate change summit being held in Madrid next week, and is expected to guide discussions there. It measures the atmospheric concentration of the gases responsible for global warming, rather than emissions.
“There is no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline, in greenhouse gases’ concentration in the atmosphere — despite all the commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
