CO2 levels hit new record, will have destructive impact: UN
Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere hit a new record last year, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Thursday. "Without rapid cuts in CO2 and other greenhouse gases, climate change will have increasingly destructive...impacts on life,"  WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said. Carbon dioxide levels rose to 146% of the pre-industrial era (before 1750), the WMO added.
