In the review of the Roshydromet indicated that “in 2019, the CO2 concentration has continued its growth by updating the regular highs”, RIA “Novosti”.
“In Teriberka and Tiksi average annual value of CO2 made 414,3 million units, during the year, an increase of 3.2 million units and 3 million units respectively,” – stated in the document.
In addition, the increasing content in the atmosphere another greenhouse gas – methane: “For the period from 2009 to 2019, the concentration of CH4 (methane) increased by 60.7 billion units.”
