Unprecedented role of Amazon fires in the record atmospheric CO₂ growth in 2024

In 2024, the global mean surface temperature rose above 1.5°C for the first sustained year, coinciding with a record atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth rate of 3.2 ppm. Satellite-constrained inversions attribute this CO2 growth anomaly primarily
