Global Climate: Overview

cover
For reasons other than the climate, 2020 was an extraordinary year. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all of us, changing the lives of many people around the globe. While the economic disruption associated with COVID-19 led to modest estimated reductions (~7%) in global anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, atmospheric CO2 levels continued to grow rapidly—a reminder of its very long residence time in the 380 atmosphere and the challenge of reducing atmospheric CO2. As we show in this chapter, the climate has continued to respond to the resulting warming from these increases in CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
