While reading „The Ministry for the Future“ by Kim Stanley Robinson I wanted to know what the actual CO2 concentration in ppm is in the air. I stumbled upon the article „Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide“ that is explaining the situation very good: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide

Here are the actual numbers https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/monthly.html

It is 420 ppm at the moment …
