🧐🌪💥💨Carbon Dioxide Levels in May broke the record for the amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in human history. CO2 levels are now 50% higher than the preindustrial average before humans began the widespread burning of fossil fuels in the late 19th century.
As the amount of carbon dioxide increases, the planet keeps warming, with effects like increased flooding, more extreme heat, drought, and worsening wildfires that are already being experienced by millions of people worldwide.
“We can see the impacts of climate change around us every day. The relentless increase of carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa is a stark reminder that we need to take urgent, serious steps to become a more Climate Ready Nation,” said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D.

🔻UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is on the brink of being ousted as Tory leadership race to secure the votes to trigger a vote of no-confidence next week, The Sunday Times reports.
The brewing Tory rebellion to oust UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stems from the "party gate." Ever since the scandal erupted, there has been speculation on whether the requisite number of letters to trigger a no-confidence vote would be sent to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee.
According to a former cabinet minister, there is an "80 percent chance" of a leadership challenge after two by-elections slated for 23 June: Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton.
