Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged about 429 ppm in January 2026

10 years ago January averaged about 403 ppm

Data available at gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through January 2026. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 429 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.

But what’s causing the climate to change in the first place? I’ve read down the thread and nobody seems to know 🤷. Does it have something to do with people not recycling their yogurt pots? Is it cows? Because if we knew what the main cause was we could maybe do something about it 🤷.

Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...
Line graph time series of global land mean surface temperature anomalies for each January-November period from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged for January-November 2025 was 1.85°C for global land areas. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. Data from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0.
