CO2 in the atmosphere just exceeded 415 parts per million for the first time in human history.

The human race has broken another record on its race to ecological collapse.

For the first time in human history — not recorded history, but since humans have existed on Earth — carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has topped 415 parts per million, reaching 415.26 parts per million, according to sensors at the Mauna Loa Observatory, a research outpost of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency.
