Carbon dioxide averaged nearly 431 ppm in April 2026 (new record high) 10 years ago April averaged about 408 ppm. Preliminary data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/... This is really concerning, and it isn’t going away. The longer we wait, the worse the impacts get and the harder they are to address.

If the main drivers on a sphere are population and consumption - we may have to eventually reduce populations & consumption? Either by design, or more realistically, by disaster. When overpopulation doesn’t decrease on a sphere, it usually means more than mere collapse.

I sort of have to wonder whether this is a high enough chronic CO2 exposure to have effects on calcium metabolism and kidney disease.
