Short and to the point. Here's a "tipping point" for you.
Last year the atmospheric CO2 increase was +3.3ppm. That's in a SINGLE YEAR!
It was an 86% year over year jump from the 2022 increase of about +2.4ppm.
It was a BIG surprise because human emissions ONLY /s increased by 1% in 2023. The CO2 level shouldn't have jumped like that.
What happened in 2023?
The Terrestrial “Carbon Land Sinks” that normally sequester 25% (about 9.4GtCO2) of our emissions annually, FAILED.
They absorbed only about +0.44GtCO2 in 2023.
If this continues, it means a +100ppm increase in CO2 levels BY 2050.
The Climate Crisis is worsening. Tipping points ARE already being crossed.
2023 was a BAD year for the Earth’s Climate.
