If you think that coronavirus lockdown will clear up in most countries around the world, because cars are not on the roads and factories are not fully activated. The latest data shows that the heat that traps carbon dioxide or CO2 is registering its highest level.CO2 concentration in the atmosphere was 417.2 parts per million in May, which in 2019 2.4ppm higher than the peak of 414.8ppm. This is according to data from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the National and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Until this data came, last year's number was the highest recorded for the month of May.

Scientists said that the level of CO2 in the atmosphere is at its highest level in 3 million years. This may come as a surprise as the notion that coronavirus virus has reduced human and industrial activity, making the air cleaner and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, scientists have attributed this recorded spike to the seasonal activity of trees and plants. The highest monthly average CO2 value of the year occurs in May before plants begin to remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere during the Northern Hemisphere growing season. Whereas in the northern fall, winter and early spring, plants and soils turn off CO2, raising the level during May, ”says the research. That's where the data has been collected at the Mauna Loa Observatory in the US. Peter Tance, the senior scientist at NOAA's Global Monitoring Division, says

"It is important to understand how fast these precise, long-term fuel pollution of CO2 is changing in our climate. Whereas "they are measurements of real environments. It does not depend on any model, but it does help to validate climate model estimates, if anything, the rapid pace of climate change can be underestimated. Also ”according to a study published in February, the last time atmospheric CO2 amounted to more than 3 million this time. At the same time, the global surface temperature was as high as 2 ° -3 ° C (3.6 ° -5.4 ° F) during the pre-industrial era. Also, the sea level was as high as 15-25 meters (50-80 feet) compared to the time it is today. Whereas the CO2 level in the atmosphere rose above 400ppm in 2014 and has remained above that mark since then.
