Keeling Curve Website Tracks Daily CO2 as We Approach 400ppm

Ralph Keeling son of Charles Keeling, of the “Keeling Curve” fame, has set up a daily CO2 counter based on the CO2 monitoring station his father set up on Mt. Mauna Loa, Hawaii, starting in 1958. The Mauna Loa CO2 record is the world’s longest unbroken record of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Ralph Keeling, now a researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, together with colleagues there has launched a website that will provide daily updates on atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The planet is ominously close to reaching a 400 ppm of CO2 concentration, well past the safe level of 350 ppm that scientists established.
