The keeling curve is quite telling regardless of which scale you look at it.

#KnowledgeByte: The #Keeling #Curve is a #Graph of the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere based on continuous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii from 1958 to the present day.

The curve is named for the scientist Charles David Keeling, who started the monitoring program and supervised it until his death in 2005.

En forma de función creciente que va de menos de 320 ppm en 1960 a las más de 410 ppm en 2010 se observa la llamada Curva de #Keeling, medida en #MaunaLoa.

Muestra el aumento de concentración de partículas de #CO2 por millón (ppm significa 'partículas por millón').

Esta concentración es creciente y cíclica: pequeños mínimos relativos se ven cada año superados por pequeños máximos relativos. El resultado global es un aumento contino de la concentración de contaminantes.

While the famous #keeling curve record of atmospheric #CO2 is currently interrupted because of #MaunaLoa eruption, listen how Scientists Measure Carbon Dioxide in the Air.

In the linked video, #Scripps scientist Ralph Keeling, the son of Charles David Keeling who started to develop the CO2 measurement at Mauna Loa observatory, explains how the measurement is done. The keeling curve is named from C.D. Keeling.

Because of the #MaunaLoa eruption and lava flows, the #CO2 measurement equipment that maintains the famous #Keeling Curve lost power on Nov. 28 and is not currently recording data.

Citing their post: "The Keeling Curve is considered the icon of scientific evidence that human activities are altering the planet’s #climate. It has provided incontrovertible evidence that the amount of [atmospheric] gas carbon dioxide has risen far above any levels experienced on Earth for at least three million years […] Researchers at #Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which established the Keeling Curve record at the site in 1958, are exploring options regarding the relocation of measurement equipment."
