There's a significant possibility that our assumptions about past CO2 levels might be off the mark. Considering this, it's conceivable that today's CO2 levels could actually be lower than they were at certain points in the past. What if CO2 levels fluctuate over millennia in a sinusoidal pattern, akin to seasons, and we are currently experiencing an upward trend? With that in mind, the accuracy of the existing measurements doesn't matter.
- AnotherGoodName 3y agoSo you think it's just a coincidence that CO2 has suddenly and massively increased at this point in time and this happens all the time?
- andreygrehov 3y agoIt's not so much about believing in coincidences; rather, it's about considering all possible variables. The sudden and substantial rise in recorded CO2 levels could be attributed to advancements in measurement techniques and the increased frequency of those measurements. If we had access to the same level of precision and quantity of data 500 years ago, it's plausible that we might have observed similar CO2 levels. Looking at the "Last 800,000 years" chart, one can observe many sudden spikes throughout the history, meaning the current "sudden spike" could be nothing but the organic state of the planet.
