New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.
Earth’s atmosphere now has more carbon dioxide in it than it has in millions — and possibly tens of millions — of years, according to data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and scientists at the University of California San Diego.
For the first time, global average concentrations of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, exceeded 430 parts per million (ppm) in May. The new readings were a record high and represented an increase of more than 3 ppm over last year.
The measurements indicate that countries are not doing enough to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reverse the steady buildup of C02, which climate scientists point to as the main culprit for global warming.

Well Jeeze, I guess we’ll have to grow some more plants.
No, it just proves that whoever did this study was high.
Oh no... They are all full of crap... :)
The Euroweenies sourced it from PDF below... But NOAA turned it into a PDF so that the graph could no longer be hotlinked. So the Euroweenies are the only source that can still be hot linked for that same graph. NOAA doesn’t like us using that graph to prove their BS wrong. :)
Oh dear! That obligates me to use it often.
It got down to 190 ppm during last Ice Age, uncomfortably close to the 150 point where plant life dies.
Lol, yes please! I do too!!!
