Wir haben ein interaktives Dashboard erstellt, um das langfristige CO₂-Signal unübersehbar zu machen.
Dies visualisiert kontinuierliche atmosphärische CO₂-Messungen vom Mauna Loa (der Keeling-Kurve) von 1958 bis heute. Ein paar Erkenntnisse, die sofort ins Auge springen:
- Der CO₂-Wert beträgt jetzt ~428 ppm – ein Anstieg um ~112 ppm seit Beginn der Messungen
- Die Steigerungsrate beschleunigt sich und verflacht nicht
- 350 ppm (oft als „sichere“ Obergrenze bezeichnet) wurden bereits vor Jahrzehnten überschritten
- Bei aktuellen Trends liegen 450 ppm innerhalb eines Jahrzehnts

So, in a décade ppm will have increased by 100 in my life time ?
great, I’m gonna have to recalibrate my home CO2 sensors. Also, this is fucking terrifying
what causes this saw like pattern ?
There’s a ton of sensors out there that autocalibrates to 400 „lowest value measured the last days“ or so, „surely it can’t be higher“. 🙁
Why is 450PM the „point of no return“ is that on about the Clathrate gun hypothesis?
CO₂ growth looks “smooth” only because we’re trained to look at levels, not rates. The moment you plot ppm/year, it stops looking like a trend and starts looking like acceleration
CO2 has been amazing for plants, hey grow faster and the world is greener than ever.
I’ve never seen years written like ‚2,025‘ before lol.
So, the primary question comes to, what can each individual do to limit this change, and I don’t mean writing to corporations and politicians because relying on them to go against their bottom line is a fool’s errand. Increasing the number of plants you have in your house/apartment? Planting a certain number of trees or other plants each year? Traveling less via transport that pollutes the most? Presuming planes take the cake here. I’m also guessing aircon is a nightmare at such high quantities, but I’m no expert here, so that’s why I’m asking. Any actionable but realistic advice is more than welcome.
Can’t wait until Antractica will be a rain forest again, as it used to be.
