The global average surface concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) for 2024 was 422.7 ppm, according to a NOAA analysis.
During 2024, CO2 concentrations grew by 3.7 ppm. Methane and nitrous oxide also grew, but not as quickly.

Arctic air plunges across the Rockies and Great Plains Friday, crossing the Deep South and Great Lakes Saturday night, and the Eastern Seaboard on Sunday bringing dangerously cold wind chill temperatures. Brief and intense bursts of snow and gusty winds in snow squalls could lead to reduced visibility and deteriorating road conditions across the northern Plains into the Rockies through Friday.
During a fall tour at NOAA Boulder, students gathered around a new touch screen interactive kiosk to explore the Global Monitoring Laboratory. Through hands-on activities and vibrant visuals, they learned about greenhouse gases and climate science in an engaging way.
Take a look at our favorite photos from 2024! These images, submitted by the NOAA Education community, highlight program successes and challenges while honoring the dedication of teachers, educators, and NOAA staff across the country. https://t.co/r9gW7V2IK1
