Ralph Keeling: A Massive Rise in CO2 Than Overall In Atmosphere

A Massive Rise In CO2 Than Overall In Atmosphere.

A Massive Rise in CO2 Than Overall In Atmosphere: A massive increase in the level of Carbon Dioxide is recorded thus causing an increase in the level of global warming gasses.

Ralph Keeling, director of the CO2 Program at the University of California said, “It's a new milestone and it helps reinforce the point that CO2 is still rising faster than ever overall in the atmosphere.”

The global obsession of CO2 this year was 4.7ppm which is a massive increase compared to last year.

Reports from the guardian says that the last highest concentration of CO2 was in June 2016 during the El Niño event.

This time Earth recorded the highest ever temperature and also climatic change led to many Catastrophe such as floods, droughts, heavy rainfall etc.

Reports from the scientist says that the major cause for such a rise could be because of the El Niño event which has been ongoing since last year which led to the plants growing less and taking in less CO2 for photosynthesis and also increasing greenhouse gasses.

Other factors that might add to it is the increase in burning of fossil fuels and increase in uses of vehicles and other sources.

Reports said that the global concentration of Carbon Dioxide levels was around 278 ppm before industrialisation.

The level of CO2 is rising day by day and we need to take measures to keep its at a stable rate.
