Not only is CO2 continuing to rise, but it's rate of growth appears to be accelerating, from ~1.5ppm/year in the 80s/90s to 2ppm/year earlier this decade and now as much as 2.5-3ppm/year average now.
If this continues, we'll hit 420ppm within a couple years, 430ppm maybe 4 years after that, over 440ppm if not nearing 450ppm by the end of the 2020s with no slowdown in sight.

Truly, truly alarming.
