Readings from the Mauna Loa CO₂ Observatory for Week 15 of 2026:

Week beginning on April 12, 2026: 429.80 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 430.16 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 408.64 ppm
Last updated: April 22, 2026

Trends in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

This figure, showing a decrease over the previous year's reading, is only one of 33 week to week comparators with the previous year to do so out of 2,619 readings going back to 1975 and is the 7th lowest reading of all time.

There has not been a negative week to week comparative reading at the observatory since 1997, in the week beginning September 7, 1997, when the reading was -0.37 ppm compared to the same week of 1996.

I'm sure there are people who will jump up and down claiming that this is a victory for so called "renewable energy," except this year, 2026, also produced the 14th highest comparative reading with the previous year, week 13, beginning March 29 2026, when the reading was 4.47 ppm higher than the previous year, one of only 37 such readings to exceed a 4.00 ppm increase over the same year. .

I think the real reason is probably that our Emperor, Naked Pedophile the First, stumbled into a war leading to the closure of the Straits of Hormuz, causing a worldwide shortage of oil and gas. This may be problematic for the impoverished, but it is good for the environment.

It is experimentally interesting to see this effect, that gas and oil restrictions can give a low, even a negative reading, although undoubtedly statistical noise is also involved.

Interesting, I think. I've not seen this in the roughly 15 or 20 years I've been tracking this.

I trust you're having a pleasant work week if you still work.
