Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reach the highest on record for any calendar month during April, according to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s data.
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography has been monitoring carbon dioxide levels using the Keeling Curve, a graph of the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere based on continuous measurements taken in Hawaii from 1958 to the present day. The measurements showed the first significant evidence of rapidly increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
