Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in 2023 were all higher than ever before. [6] Electricity generation, heat and transport are major emitters; overall energy is responsible for around 73% of emissions. [7] Deforestation and other changes in land use also emit carbon dioxide and methane.
As of November 2023, around 145 countries had announced or are considering net zero targets, covering close to 90% of global emissions. [10] They include some countries that were resistant to climate action in previous decades. [11] [9] Country-level net zero targets now cover 92% of global GDP, 88% of emissions and 89% of the world population. [9]
Activated carbon. Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, among many other uses. It is processed (activated) to have small, low-volume pores that greatly increase the surface area [1] [2] available for adsorption or chemical reactions. [3]

In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.
Hurricane Ophelia (known as Storm Ophelia in Ireland and the United Kingdom while extratropical) was regarded as the worst storm to affect Ireland in 50 years, and was also the easternmost Atlantic major hurricane [nb 1] on record. [2]
