Older petrol and diesel vehicles produce 50% of harmful particle emissions in Finland, study shows
In Finland, the average age of passenger cars is among the highest in Europe, and the majority of traffic-related particle emissions are produced by ICE vehicles that are more than 15 years old.University of Eastern Finland (Phys.org)
The #world’s top 1% of emitters produce over 1000 times more #CO2 than the bottom 1%

the world has failed to meet its main #ClimateChange target of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5°C, & will likely breach this threshold in the next decade, the #UN' #Environment Program said Tuesday.
The annual #EmissionsGap report said because of countries' slow action to reduce planet-heating #GreenhouseGas #emissions, it was now clear that the world would exceed the core target of the 2015 #ParisAgreement - at least temporarily.

Based on daily values, the April average of atmospheric CO₂ was 429.6-429.7 ppm. That's ~3.1 ppm higher than last year, a continued rapid increase!
It's also the highest concentration that Earth has experienced in the past 15 *million* years.
