The world just hit a spicy new record—not the kind we want! Global greenhouse gas emissions rose by a whopping 2.3% in 2024 compared to last year, reaching an all-time high. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) shared this hot news in their latest Emissions Gap report. What’s even more shocking? This spike is not a small blip; UNEP called it "high"—similar to the rapid rise in the 2000s. Which countries are behind this sizzling jump? Major emitters India, China, Russia, and Indonesia are the big names pushing those numbers up. Their increased emissions light the way for concerns about the world’s fight against climate change.
