That'd be hopeful if true. I agree the speed of increase is slowing. I'm not aware if the actual increase is now negative. That would be great news.

Yeah, that's a single point. The overall trend looks like it's a methodology fluke, and that the real trend is of 0 growth.

That's why I'm interested on more data :)


On year-by-year basis you're looking at noise. On decade basis there's mostly steady acceleration of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere:

Lower growth may also be corellated with human depression, strife and war. So the human systems are working against decrease of CO2 growth.
