Carbon dioxide levels breach another threshold at Mauna Loa

Carbon dioxide levels breach another threshold at Mauna Loa
Monthly average surpasses 410 parts per million for April and May
 
June 7, 2018

Carbon dioxide levels averaged more than 410 parts per million in April and May at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory, surging past yet another climate milestone. This is the sixth consecutive year of steep global increases in concentrations of the greenhouse gas, scientists from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography announced today.
 

Carbon dioxide levels are tracked closely by the world’s scientists as a measure of how human activity is changing the planet’s atmosphere. The concentration of CO2  in the atmosphere increases every year, and the rate of increase is accelerating. While it averaged about 1.6 ppm per year in the 1980s and 1.5 ppm per year in the 1990s, the growth rate increased to 2.2 ppm per year during the last decade.

Duh...perhaps look downslope at the active eruption?!?!  Tons of CO2 per day!   https://www.livescience.com/40451-volcanic-co2-levels-are-staggering.html

Even so, this is more than volcanism.

Would like to see how they isolate their CO2 detector from the local eruption just down the mountain.  And local/worldwide volcanic activity over the years roughly matches your chart:

The greatest thing about living on this planet is it doesn't give a shit about humans.  Which is cool when you think about it.  We have no control.

Great example of using the origin of the Y-axis to distort the magnitude of change.  Zerohedge worthy.
