CARBON
DIOXIDE LEVELS KEEP ACCELERATING
Current
CO₂ levels far exceed levels that were common during the past
800,000 years. Peak levels over the past 800,000 years were about 280
ppm.
The
May 3, 2019, CO₂ level recorded by scripps.ucsd.edu at
Mauna Loa, Hawaii, was 415.09 ppm. Greenhouse gas levels this high
correspond with a 10°C or 18°F higher temperature than temperatures
that were common in 1750.
Indeed,
a 10°C or 18°F rise in temperature from preindustrial is in line
with such high greenhouse gas levels, as described in the earlier
post 'What Does Abrupt Climate Change Look Like?'
In
fact, abrupt warming could result in a rise of 18°C or 32.4°F by
2026, as described in a recent post.
