"Each week, I'm going to remind us of the CO2 levels in the atmosphere. We must avoid a level of 450 parts per million for a chance to keep global warming below 2°C. If we don’t change how we do things, we’re likely to exceed the target in 10-15 years. The latest measurement (as of April 18): 413.54ppm 12 months ago: 409ppm; 50 years ago: 326.66ppm; 250 years ago, est: 250ppm"
