Scientists report record levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Atmospheric observatory on the slope of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii recorded a record figure —over

421 cm³/m³. Previously, the concentration never exceeded 420 cm³/m³.

For comparison: in 1950, the concentration of carbon dioxide was about 315 cm³ / m³.

As the newspaper emphasizes, this record isonly a single measurement, while indicators of the concentration of carbon dioxide. At this time of the year, carbon dioxide concentrations are close to peak. At the same time, in the last two months, the observatory has been constantly recording peak values ​​- more than 417 cm³ / m³.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphereEarth has been monitored daily since the late 1950s by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This indicator is monitored by an atmospheric station on the slope of the Mauna Loa volcano.
