New record levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere w/ University of Auckland’s Dr Kevin Trenberth: 8 August, 2024

Carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere has reached a new record high level, largely in line with international trends.

This comes from 2023 data from NIWA, taken off the coast of Wellington.

This record comes amongst new, and increasingly common climate records. Last month saw the world record for the hottest day, for example.

Wire host Caeden spoke about this NIWA testing, and the consequences of carbon in our atmosphere with the University of Auckland’s Dr Kevin Trenberth.
