The World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin released Wednesday in Geneva said greenhouse gases reached a record high in 2012 with carbon dioxide and methane touchin
Atmospheric volumes of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change hit a new record in 2012, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Wednesday.
The atmospheric increase of CO2 from 2011 to 2012 was higher than its average growth rate over the past ten years, according to this latest edition of the annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin puiblished by World Meteorological Organization.

Simple measures to reduce pollution from cooking stoves in developing nations could save a million lives a year and help slow global warming, a World Bank study showed on Monday.
This new scientific report released by World Bank shows that moving rapidly to reduce pollutants such as methane and black carbon, could slow warming in critical snow and ice-covered regions while benefitting human welfare.
Slowing the rate of global warming over the near term by cutting short-lived climate pollutants to complement carbon dioxide reductions for the long term. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are responsible for 55-60% of anthropogenic radiative forcing. Fast and aggressive CO2 mitigation is essential to combat the resulting climate change.
