United Nations, October 31 (RHC)-- The United Nations has warned that carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere soared to a record 403.3 parts per mission last year, jumping at the fastest annual rate ever recorded.
According to studies, the record level has not been since the Pliocene epoch 3 million years ago, when sea levels were about 66 feet higher.
