Based on your calculation for the rate of increase from 2006 to 2016, how long do you estimate it will take for the CO2 level to reach 450 ppm? How long to be 50% higher than the present level?

What will be an ideal response?


Given a 23 ppm increase from 2006 to 2016, CO2 levels should reach 450 ppm in 25 years.
