Atmospheric CO2 levels just hit the highest point in the history of our species
The Earth is dealing with something that it hasn't faced in at least the last 800,000 years. It's a dramatic shift in the levels of carbon dioxide present in the planet's atmosphere, and it's abundantly clear that mankind is the reason for the change.
If you've even casually kept an eye on environmental news over the past, say, three decades or so you already had a pretty good idea that this was happening, but the most recent data from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography makes it clear that the situation is truly unprecedented.
