When man first walked on the moon, the carbon dioxide concentration in Earth's atmosphere was 325 parts per million (ppm).

By 9/11, it was 369 ppm, and when COVID-19 shut down normal life in 2020, it had shot up to 414 parts ppm.

This week, our planet hit the highest levels ever directly recorded: 430 parts per million.

"This problem is not going away, and we're moving further and further into uncharted territory, and almost certainly, very dangerous territory."

It sounds sensationalist to say "we hit the highest CO2 levels ever recorded" when we break the record every year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future

Doesn't make it any less true or alarming
