Authored by Ebadat Ur Rehman Babar, this research report explores the role of CO₂ in shaping Earth’s climate, from ancient volcanic eruptions to the current climate crisis. It examines key insights, including the unprecedented rise in CO₂ levels, the industrial revolution’s impact, and why the pandemic-induced emissions dip couldn’t reverse CO₂’s increase. The report also outlines future scenarios, from optimistic (RCP 2.6) to catastrophic (RCP 8.5) pathways.
Actionable solutions include transitioning to renewables, accelerating carbon capture research, and fostering global policy collaboration. This document equips policymakers, researchers, and climate advocates with essential insights to tackle the climate crisis.
