  • Description:
    The dominant greenhouse gases released into Earth’s atmosphere including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide reached record highs in 2022. The annual global average carbon dioxide concentration at Earth’s surface for 2022 was 417.1 ± 0.1 ppm. This was 2.4 ppm greater than the 2021 amount, and was the highest in the modern atmospheric measurement record and in paleoclimate records dating back as far as 800,000 years. Annual growth in global mean carbon dioxide has quadrupled since the early 1960s. Throughout the year, the climate continued to respond to the ongoing increase in greenhouse gases and resulting warming.
