"Two months ahead of the usual annual peak of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, parts per million in air exceeded 430. Crossing 430 ppm was an entirely predictable but sad milestone. The rise is mostly caused by fossil fuel usage." - Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps Oceanography CO2 program
