(15,793 posts)1. I still can't believe it didn't go down in 2020
If having the entire world shut down doesnt combat these numbers, what can. That is really disappointing that shutting down the entire world didnt even move the needle down but actually made it increase? WTF!

And since each ppm represents 2.13 billion tons of carbon, even during COVID we managed to bump up atmospheric content by about 2.5 billion tons.
