Description (excerpt):

Climate scientists have observed that carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere have been increasing significantly over the past century, compared to the rather steady level of the pre-industrial era (about 280 parts per million in volume, or ppmv). The 2013 concentration of CO2 (396 ppmv) was about 40% higher than in the mid-1800s, with an average growth of 2 ppmv/year in the last ten years. Significant increases have also occurred in levels of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
