1. will the sentient cockroaches, a million years hence, use these figures

...in scholarly papers that retroactively shake their heads at what became of the "mammalian" era?

[Nihil]

3. They'll probably be looking around the world ...

... for the rift volcanoes that must have caused such a (geologically) rapid
rise in CO2.

Mind you, wonder if they'll blame the "asphalt traps" that obviously flowed
in streams across most of the continents, sometimes "pooling" into rectangular
areas near the strange conglomerate outcrops that are laced with iron oxide
veins ...?

6. Yes, but..

there will also be a half-dozen well-funded cockroach versions of Bjorn Lomborg who argue it was natural cycles, and 50% of cockroach civilization will listen to them.

2. 4.48 PPM in two years

That's about 2 PPM per year.

Six years to 400 PPM. 500 PPM around mid-century. How far can we push this?

5. It's also interesting to trace the recession in the ppm track . . .

YOY 11/6 - 11/7 - 2.20 ppm increase - Get the home you deserve with DiTech!

YOY 11/7 - 11/8 - 1.84 ppm - slowing down

YOY 11/8 - 11/9 - 1.88 ppm - the recession continues . . .

YOY 11/9 - 11/10 - 2.60 - Business As Usual!!
