CO2 concentration should be and can be common knowledge!

We know what 65 Fahrenheit or 25 celsius feels like; what 3.4 or 6.5 on the Richter scale might feel like, but do we know what 418 ppm means or feels like? Let's dig in...

CO2 is released when we burn fossil fuels for energy.

Prior to the industrial revolution and for the past 800,000 years, the CO2 concentration was always under 300 ppm (pers per million). After the 1900s, the concentration rapidly increased due to the industrial revolution and increased population and energy consumption.

Knowing and tracking the CO2 ppm is imperative to know where we stand with respect to the critical milestones.
