In May 2025, atmospheric carbon dioxide exceeded 430 parts per million, hitting a historic high and indicating a growing global warming crisis. Experts warn that increasing CO2 concentrations not only contribute to climate change-related extreme weather events but also pose health risks, including cognitive impairment and potential fatalities. The data, sourced from Mauna Loa Observatory, shows a concerning year-on-year increase, indicating a troubling trend that may have devastating implications for both humanity and the environment.
The new record CO2 measurement of 430.2 ppm marks a worrying trend for climate change and its associated health and environmental hazards.
Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps CO2 Program, remarked that it's 'sad' to witness another year of climbing CO2 levels.
