Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are set to hit record levels again in 2023 as experts warn that the projected rate of warming has not improved over the past two years. The world is on track to burn more coal, oil and gas in 2023 than it did in 2022, according to the Global Carbon Project, putting 1.1 % more planet-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in time , when emissions must fall to avoid an increase in extreme weather. The finding comes during a meeting of world leaders in Dubai at the demanding Cop28 climate summit. In a separate report published on Tuesday, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) raised its projections for future warming slightly above the estimates it made at a conference in Glasgow two years ago.
