Global Atmospheric CO2 Level Continue to Rise- Major Parties Fail Rational Remediation Planning

 The Trump administration obviously promotes fossil fuels over alternative, sustainable energy development. Yet the global percent of atmospheric CO2 continues to increase. It is the worst it has been in three million years. A lot of CO2 makes people dumb. Democrats are not an alternative that would fix the economy and secure the well being of the nation. They promote homsexuality, atheism, defunding police, war with Russia over Ukraine, abortion, open borders etc.

Democrats exploit global warming concerns to lever more political power disingenuously, judging from history. There is not a real, effective political policy well designed to end CO2 emissions from industrial and mechanical sources in either party. Each party pursues classical economics and wealth for-themselves in short-term programs. Neither party has a viable plan to eliminate public debt. Those are facts of life. I asked Gemini;

Gary-Has the CO2 content of the atmosphere steadily increased the past 50 years and is it likely to continue?

Gemini-Yes, the carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) content of the atmosphere has steadily and rapidly increased over the past 50 years, and it is highly likely to continue rising for decades. [1, 2]

According to tracking by agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA, atmospheric \(CO_{2}\) has not only risen but the rate of its growth has significantly accelerated. [1, 2, 3]

The Last 50 Years: A Continuous Rise [1]

• The Numbers: In 1976, global atmospheric \(CO_{2}\) sat at roughly 332 parts per million (ppm). In 2026, it reached approximately 430 to 431 ppm. This marks a massive 30% increase in just half a century.
• Accelerating Pace: The growth rate has tripled over time. In the 1970s, \(CO_{2}\) levels rose by about 1 ppm per year. Over the last decade, they have averaged an increase of 2.4 to 2.6 ppm per year.
• Historical Context: The atmosphere has not seen \(CO_{2}\) concentrations this high in at least 3 million years, long before modern humans existed. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Why It Is Likely to Continue Rising

Atmospheric \(CO_{2}\) concentrations will continue to rise as long as net global greenhouse gas emissions remain above zero. Even if global emissions begin to stabilize or slightly decline, the total accumulation of \(CO_{2}\) in the atmosphere will still grow. [1]

• Sustained Fossil Fuel Use: While renewable energy is growing rapidly, global fossil fuel emissions have not yet peaked and remain near record highs.
• Future Projections: Under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate scenarios, \(CO_{2}\) levels will continue to climb. The intermediate scenarios—which most closely mirror current global policies—project that \(CO_{2}\) levels will surpass 500 to 600 ppm by the year 2100, pushing global temperatures up by 2.7°C or more.
• Delayed Effects & Natural Sinks: Natural carbon sinks (like oceans and forests) absorb roughly half of human carbon emissions, but they are becoming saturated and less efficient as global temperatures rise. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

To reverse or even stop this trend, global emissions must reach net-zero—where human carbon output is completely balanced by active carbon removal. [1, 2]

If you would like to explore specific aspects of this data further, please let me know. I can provide details on how climate models project specific emission pathways, explain the role of natural carbon sinks, or look into how current international policies aim to alter this trajectory.
