Open post Torbjørn Wikestad @towi@mastodon.world · 16mo ago Replying to @ed_hawkins@fediscience.org @towi This graphic uses the annual average, not the monthly average (which might hit 430ppm this month, before declining again in its normal annual cycle). @ed_hawkins Thank you for clarifying it. My statement was not very serious. I think I just wanted to point out that the CO2-level rises very fast.
