2020年8月12日 · As the second most abundant greenhouse gas in our atmosphere (after water vapor), carbon dioxide (CO2) has become a direct proxy for measuring climate change. Its levels have varied widely over the course of the Earth’s 4.54 billion year history, partly driving swings in our planet’s average temperature.

2023年12月7日 · A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays out a daunting picture of where the Earth’s climate may be headed. The study covers geologic records spanning the past 66 million years, putting present-day concentrations into context with deep time.

2024年6月3日 · Read on for a visual recap of some national, regional and global CO2 emissions milestones over the past 172 years. From 1850 to the mid-20th century, the world experienced near-constant growth in emissions.

Carbon Dioxide Through Time. In the late 1950s, Roger Revelle, an American oceanographer based at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California began to ring the alarm bells over the amount of CO 2 being emitted into the atmosphere. Revelle was very concerned about the greenhouse effect from this emission and was cautious ...

2024年4月9日 · Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) in parts per million (ppm) for the past 800,000 years based on ice-core data (light purple line) compared to 2022 concentration (bright purple dot). The peaks and valleys in the line show ice ages (low CO 2 ) …

2019年2月3日 · In the guide below, we look at the history of Earth’s carbon dioxide levels (including how fast they might be rising), recent CO2 concentration levels, and what the significance of each might be. Summary – Earth’s Carbon Dioxide Levels Throughout History, & How Fast They Are Currently Increasing

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion were almost zero prior to 1750. The United Kingdom was the world’s first industrialized nation – and first fossil-fuel CO 2 emitter. In 1751 its (and global) emissions were less than 10 million tonnes – 3600 times less than global emissions today .

2013年8月29日 · Ancient air bubbles trapped in ice enable us to step back in time and see what Earth’s atmosphere, and climate, were like in the distant past. They tell us that levels of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any time in …

In this study, we present a p CO 2 record spanning the past 40 million years from a single marine locality, Ocean Drilling Program Site 925 located in the western equatorial Atlantic Ocean. The trends and absolute values of our new CO 2 record site are broadly consistent with previously published multi-site alkenone–CO 2 results.

2025年1月21日 · The data contains concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from hundreds of thousands of years ago through 2021, measured in parts per million (ppm). The data come from a variety of historical ice core studies and recent air monitoring sites around the world.
