According to data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has been steadily increasing over recent decades.

Between 1959 and 1986, the average atmospheric CO2 concentration remained below 350 parts per million (ppm). This means there were fewer than 350 CO2 particles for every one million particles of air.

However, since 1987, levels have risen above 350 ppm. Indeed, during the April-June 2022 period, atmospheric CO2 concentration reached approximately 420 ppm, the highest level ever recorded by NASA.

In January 2023, the concentration stood at 419 ppm, the fourth highest level since NASA began recording.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps and retains solar heat. CO2 can originate from natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions or natural wildfires.

However, the current increase in atmospheric CO2 levels is largely attributable to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as deliberate deforestation and forest fires.

"Atmospheric carbon dioxide warms the planet and causes climate change. Human activities have increased the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere by 50% in less than 200 years," NASA stated on its official website, as quoted on Thursday (February 16, 2023).

In line with the rising CO2 levels, the Earth's surface temperature has also shown an upward trend.

Between 1981 and 2014, the Earth's surface temperature increased annually by between 0.1°C and 0.7°C compared to the 1951-1980 annual average. However, since 2015, the increase has consistently exceeded 0.8°C.

"Many scientists believe we need to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to 350 ppm or lower," NASA stated.
