CO2 levels from 1744 to 2008
These two websites show the CO2 levels over the last 265 years.
The first one http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/co2/siple2.013 shows the levels from 1744 to 1953.
The second one http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/co2/maunaloa.co2 shows the levels each month from 1958 to 2008.
What is interesting is how much quicker they are going up now. In the last 10 years, they have gone up from 366 to 385 ppm, but it took one and a half centuries to increase by the same amount from 1744.
