Average annual atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) reached a record high of 424.61 parts per million (ppm) in 2024. Monthly atmospheric CO₂ concentrations peaked that year in June, at 426.91 ppm. Human activities have caused CO₂ concentrations to soar Annual CO₂ concentrations...
Wildfires and fossil fuel burning in 2024 contributed to the biggest annual rise in atmospheric CO2 levels ever recorded at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii

13), CO2 concentration dropped from elevated values (~650–1,500 ppm) in the Pennsylvanian to an ~10-million-year-long nadir of ~180–400 ppm spanning the Asselian and Sakmarian stages of the Early Permian. Although the Asselian–Sakmarian CO2 nadir seems to broadly coincide with the ...

The same as in b) but for the glacial c) stadial and d) interstadial climate from a simulation with CO2=210 ppm. The maximum in NADW and AABW overturning streamfunctions (Sv) in the glacial climate are highlighted with white and yellow ellipses, respectively. These two points form the ...
Atmospheric CO2 is thought to play a fundamental role in Earth’s climate regulation. Yet, for much of Earth’s geological past, atmospheric CO2 has been poorly constrained, hindering our understanding of transitions between cool and warm climates. Begin
The atmospheric CO2 concentration has been enhancing rapidly since the Industrial Revolution (IPCC, 2021). Observations show that the atmospheric CO2 con- centration in 2019 was 410.07 ± 0.10 ppm (parts per million), which was an increase of 47.5% relative to the value of 278.00 ± 5.00 ppm...
We describe CO2 concentration measurement systems based on relatively inexpensive single-cell non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensors. The systems utilize signal averaging to obtain precision (1-?? in 100 s) of 0.1 parts per million dry air mole fraction (ppm), frequent calibrations and sample drying...
