Due to an increase of carbon dioxide levels of up to 50% brought about by gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, the world will be confronted by a much worse El Nino.

According to The Weather Channel, it has been established by the recent report from NOAA's 10th Annual Greenhouse Gas Index (AGGI), that in the past 25 years, the carbon dioxide levels have jumped by half as a result of human activity way past pre-industrial levels.

It has been registered that the closing stages of the interglacial period to the launching of the industrial era, the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide has been perpetually at 278 parts per million (ppm).

However by the year 2015, it was amplified by nearly 3 ppm as it reached a global average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration at 399 ppm.

Jim Butler the director of NOAA's Global Monitoring Division said that, "We're dialing up Earth's thermostat in a way that will lock more heat into the ocean and atmosphere for thousands of years."

"Climate is driven by complex systems and our ability to predict future climate impacts comes from complex models. This isn't a model. These are precise and accurate measurements, and they tell us about how humans are changing the balance of heat in the Earth system," he added.

The NOAA report explained that the AGGI report does not faithfully give an assessment of how much the planet will get hot mentioning that, ."You do know, however, that if the dial is turned up a little, the blanket will get warmer - and not immediately. If you turn it up a lot, you know the blanket will get a lot warmer - eventually," as it compared the process akin to warming up an electric blanket.

The information also established that other gases are causative to the corresponding of 85 ppm of carbon dioxide each year as it measured 21 percent of the 399 ppm for 2015.
