Since the Industrial Revolution, how much has the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increased?

Since the Industrial Revolution, which began in the mid-18th century, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased significantly.

1. Pre-Industrial Levels: Before the Industrial Revolution, the atmospheric CO2 levels were about 280 parts per million (ppm).

2. Post-Industrial Levels: With the advent of industrialization, humans began to burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas on a large scale, releasing large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. This has led to a steady increase in atmospheric CO2 levels.

3. Current Levels: As of 2021, the atmospheric CO2 levels have risen to over 410 ppm, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

4. Overall Increase: This represents an
