What you are looking at is a current snapshot of the worlds Carbon dioxide CO2 levels in (PPM) Parts Per Million. Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas that results from human activities and causes global warming and climate change. CO

At least since the 1958 start of atmospheric CO2 measurements with high-precision instruments, the rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has accelerated from decade to decade.   The latest atmospheric CO2 data is consistent with a continuation of this long-standing trend.

The upper safety limit for atmospheric CO2 is 350 parts per million (ppm). Atmospheric CO2 levels have stayed higher than 350 ppm since early 1988.
