On 2 May 2013, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in
the atmosphere reached 400 parts-per-million (ppm) for the first time in human
history. This record was measured by the
NOAA/ESRL's Global
Monitoring Division in Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The daily average for 9 May 2013 was an
alarming 400.03 ppm. When measurements
started in 1958, the daily average was around 315 ppm, already a much higher
level than the pre-industrial average of 280 ppm.
