Letter to the Editor: Progress Made on CO2 Front; More Work Needed
While CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, it's increasing at a slower rate.

To the editor:
We have made progress. The parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere is 393.18. This is good news and bad news.
Last year it was 392.40. The good news is that this is the smallest increase in years. Last year the PPM (parts per million) was 392.40. This yearly the increase was smaller than last year's.

The bad news is that the PPM is as high as it has ever been and we need to have it below 350 by the year 2050 for the planet to support human life according to scientists.
