Carbon Dioxide is an important atmospheric gas because it traps and holds heat in our atmosphere.

Gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere can be measured as both ‘parts per million’ (PPM) and as a percentage (%) of the overall atmosphere.

atmosphere has changed from about 280 PPM to 410 PPM.
Since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of CO2 in the

Line graphs show that the increase in CO2 concentrations since about 1950 correspond with an increase in average
temperatures as our atmosphere has warmed up.

We need to take action now by reducing and ‘drawing down’ CO2 in the atmosphere.
