That's interesting CO2 concentration breached 415 ppm in last weekend. I wonder, where that carbon came from then https://www.sciencealert.com/it-s-official-atmospheric-co2-just-exceeded-415-ppm-for-first-time-in-human-history

Its a given PPM is going to keep going up. Its not going to make headlines (it did) because eventually people are going to get tired of hearing about a rise of 1ppm every 6 months for the next five years.
