Rise in atmospheric CO2 level still accelerating

Not only is the level of CO2 in the atmosphere continuing to rise, it's rising at an accelerating pace.

Remember, even if annual CO2 emissions peak, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere will continue to rise, though the rate at which it rises (shown in the chart above) will level off.  To stop global temperatures from continuing to rise, we need to stop all CO2 emissions entirely.  In the context of the chart above, that would mean that the black line goes to zero (below the bottom of the chart area) and the red line changes trend.  BTW,  an  El Niño year (1998, 2016) causes the rate of increase in CO2 levels to spike up.

No signs of a slow down yet.
