Since industrialization took off in the early 19th century, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have increased by nearly half, from 280 parts per million to 407 parts per million.

Global average CO2 concentrations rose at a record rate in 2016 to more than 403 parts per million up from 400.00 ppm in 2015, according to the World Meteorological Organization. Concentrations of CO2 are now nearly 50% higher than pre-industrial levels.
