The claim that carbon dioxide has increased 100 times fast in the last 60 years than during the end of the last ice age is true. These three sources all back up this claim. It is important for titles, that speak truth, to sound scary at times. It is alarming to read the headline that carbon dioxide is increasing so much. Because of that, more people may read about the subject and have a paradigm shift that recognizes the human impact on our planet. This is not misinformation.
