To supplement my last toot of 800,000 years of CO2 data, here's a graph of the past 2000 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide (all greenhouse gases, measured in parts per million) again showing the effect of human activities driving up the concentrations. These are the gases driving #climate change.

A graph of 2000 years showing atmospheric concentrations of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide, with dramatic increases since the industrial revolution.

@petergleick I'm amazed by the techniques adopted to infere the data backwards in time...
