The Humor Page: February, 2016, Atmospheric CO2 Posted -- Saturday, March 5, 2016

In January, 2016, the previous month, atmospheric CO2 was 402.52 according to the same source, same location.

From 402.52 to 404.16 is a 0.25% change.

400/1,000,000 = 0.04%.

402.52/1,000,000 = 0.04%

404.16/1,000,000 = 0.04%

According to wiki, just to help keep things in perspective:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important trace gas in Earth's atmosphere currently constituting about 0.04% (400 parts per million) of the atmosphere.

Reconstructions show that concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have varied, ranging from as high as 7,000 parts per million during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago to as low as 180 parts per million during the Quaternary glaciation of the last two million years.

There are credible reports that we may have dodged a "silver bullet": had CO2 continued to decrease we may have experienced a worsening Cold Age. The "Dinosaur Era" had CO2 concentrations 5 times higher than current CO2 levels.

I can go back to sleep now.
