Highlights
- Each year, human activities release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, causing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to increase.
- The global average carbon dioxide set a new record high in 2023: 419.3 parts per million.
- Atmospheric carbon dioxide is now 50 percent higher than it was before the Industrial Revolution.
- The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 60 years is about 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as those that occurred at the end of the last ice age 11,000-17,000 years ago.
- The ocean has absorbed enough carbon dioxide to lower its pH by 0.1 units, a 30% increase in acidity.

Las nuevas sanciones estadounidenses suponen un golpe sin precedentes para las empresas que durante la última década han desarrollado importantes recursos de petróleo y gas en una de las zonas más remotas del planeta.
El paquete de sanciones anunciado por el Tesoro de Estados Unidos el 10 de enero incluye a casi todas las grandes empresas de extracción, instalaciones de infraestructura y barcos que participan en el desarrollo de hidrocarburos en el Ártico ruso.
Las medidas podrían paralizar importantes sectores de la industria petrolera del país en la región.

Both reactors on the Akademik Lomonosov have reloaded the uranium fuel elements for the first time since the floating nuclear power plant was put into operation in 2020.
It is the world’s only floating nuclear power plant and at the same time the world’s northernmost heat and electricity producing unit. With reactor technology similar to Russia’s icebreakers, the fuel cycle requires change of uranium elements every 3 to 5 years.
