But the extraordinary findings by the European Union’s (EU) Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), unveiled this week, were more significant than perhaps many expected. The Copernicus Climate Change Service added, that in 2023 the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere rose to the highest level ever recorded at 419 PPM.
