A study published in Science Advances in 2022 stated that climate-caused changes in atmospheric rivers affecting California had already doubled the likelihood of megafloods since 1920—which can involve 100 inches (250 cm) of rain and/or melted snow in the mountains per month, or 25 to 34 feet (7.6 to 10.4 m) of snow in the Sierra Nevada—and ...
Since January 2009, all new vehicles sold in California have been required to be labeled with a California Air Resources Board window sticker showing both a Smog Score and a Global Warming Score. The scores are on a 1–10 scale, with 5 being average and with 10 being the best (i.e., emitting the least carbon dioxide).
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations from 1958 to 2023. The Keeling Curve is a graph of the annual variation and overall accumulation of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere based on continuous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii from 1958 to the present day.
To reach either 2030 target, California carbon emissions would need to fall each year by 13.6 and 17.2 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, respectively.
7 April 2022: NOAA reported an annual increase in global atmospheric methane of 17 parts per billion (ppb) in 2021—averaging 1,895.7 ppb in that year—the largest annual increase recorded since systematic measurements began in 1983. [39] The increase during 2020 was 15.3 ppb, itself a record increase. [39]
Carbon emissions per capita, 2020 Carbon emissions per 1000 square miles, 2020. This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont.
The level of carbon dioxide increase between 2022 and 2023 was 12 percent higher than that of the last decade — and five times greater than that of the 1960s.
Emissions from wildfires in 2021 were ‘nearly twice’ as much CO2 as global aviation that year Wildfires released record-breaking amount of carbon dioxide in 2021 – study Skip to main content
