To sum it up, for thousands of years the atmospheric concentration was somewhere around 280 ppm. Starting in the 1800's, the level started to climb. It is now above 380 ppm.


And before that?

Earth's atmosphere today contains about 380 ppm CO2 (0.038%). Compared to former geologic times, our present atmosphere, like the Late Carboniferous atmosphere, is CO2- impoverished! In the last 600 million years of Earth's history only the Carboniferous Period and our present age, the Quaternary Period, have witnessed CO2 levels less than 400 ppm.
