CO2 SURGES BY 0.008% OVER 40 YRS
Global Carbon Dioxide levels have increased by 80 ppm since 1980, which when expressed as a percentage is only 0.008%. During the period from 1980-2022 global average surface temperatures have increased by about 3.5 % from 14.19 C to 14.76 C hardly proof of a correlation of temperatures with Carbon Dioxide. One ppm is equivalent to the absolute fractional amount multiplied by one million. A better way to think of ppm is to visualize putting four drops of ink in a 55-gallon barrel of water and mixing it thoroughly. This procedure would produce an ink concentration of 1 ppm. Some other analogies that may help you visualize the scale involved with ppm. One ppm is like: one inch in 16 miles, one second in 11.5 days,and one minute in two years. An even smaller concentration measurement is parts per billion (ppb) that we use to demonstrate increases in Methane. One ppb is one part in 1 billion. Because a ppb is a much lower concentration, some analogies would be : one sheet in a roll of toilet paper stretching from New York to London, one second in nearly 32 years, or one pinch of salt in 10 tons of potato chips.
Carbon Dioxide has increased by 23.42 ppm over the last decade. …HELL !
