2019 Monthly Growth Figures for Carbon Dioxide Increases Are Among the Highest Recorded.

The monthly year to year increases in carbon dioxide concentrations are reported on the NOAA website for the last 55 years.

They may be accessed here: Mauna Loa CO2 Data Sheets

I have imported the monthly data into spreadsheets to use Excel functions to compare and order data from best to worst.

The worst data point ever recorded was a 4.16 ppm increase recorded in April of 2016 as compared to April 2015, about 15 years into the world wide adaptation of the "renewable energy will save us" anti-nuke scheme that prominently was adapted in certain European countries featuring Germanic languages.

The second worst ever recorded was in June of 2016, 4.01 ppm in June of 2016.

The worst January figure ever recorded was 3.61 ppm, recorded in January 2017.

The worst February figure ever recorded was 3.76 ppm, recorded in February 2016.

The worst March figure ever recorded was 3.31 ppm, recorded in March of 2016.

For 2019, January recorded a value of 2.85 ppm over 2018, the third worst ever recorded.

For 2019, February recorded a value of 3.40 ppm over 2018, the second worst ever recorded.

For 2019, March recorded a value of 2.51 ppm over 2018, the eighth worst ever recorded.

If any of this disturbs you, don't worry be happy. I recently read here that so called "renewable energy" subsidies in Texas are "working."

Apparently, in this mentality, "working" involves putting up lots of steel towers to grind up endangered and common birds and bats, and has nothing to do at all with climate change.

It figures. If "working" did involve climate change, then so called "renewable energy" did not work; is not working and will not work.

Have a very pleasant Sunday.
