Earth on brink of surpassing key warming threshold: UN weather agency 
Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
  • The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.

  • The 1.5-degree limit of the Paris Climate Agreement is at risk as the average temperature from March 2023 to February 2024 exceeded this threshold.

  • In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once, glaciers lost record amounts of ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level.

  • Despite the alarming news, there is a glimmer of hope as renewable energy capacity has significantly increased, and calls for more climate action are growing.

Oil and gas companies emit more climate-warming methane than EPA reports
Quick Glance: Oil and Gas Industry Emitting Significantly Higher Methane Levels Than Reported
  • A new study reveals that the oil and gas industry emits about three times the amount of climate-warming methane than government estimates show.

  • Researchers used airplanes to collect nearly one million measurements of methane emissions from six domestic oil and gas production areas.

  • The study found that the industry releases an average of 2.95% of the gas it produces as methane into the air, almost three times the EPA estimates.

  • Despite declining methane emissions in the US, more efforts are needed to achieve global climate goals, including reducing methane emissions from the energy sector.
