The build-up of atmospheric carbon-dioxide between 2023 and 2024 is forecast to be faster than that required to track IPCC scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5°C, that is the finding from the latest Met Office CO₂ forecast.

a temporary weakening of tropical land carbon sinks – areas which would normally absorb some of the carbon released will have reduced capacity because of the effects of El Niño. Professor Richard Betts is the Met Office author of the CO₂ forecast. He said: “This year’s estimated rise in atmospheric

He noted that mountains and glaciers are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and changes in the mountains can impact water
