While I'm no scientist,...
Neither am I, but here is a chart with monthly CO2 measurements taken and compiled by scientists starting in 1958 when levels were 314 ppm. Generally the highest levels are in May or June:

Co2 levels have now broke 415. One could argue that the volcanoes kept it lower.

Speaking of CO2, Senator Brian Schatz says this is the best thing on the internet today:

I suspect it would be more accurate to say volcanoes make little difference to long-term atmospheric CO2 levels, at least at the current volcanic activity level we have these days.

37 years ago Exxon predicted rhe CO2 Level would reach 415 ppm, as measured by Mauna Loa Observatory recently. Exxon scientists even drew a graph showing the correlation of increased CO2 in the atmosphere and the corresponding rise in temperature. It’s dead on.
Back in 1982.
Due to burning fossil fuels.
By humans.
It’s eerie seeing how well the company understood both climate science and the world’s patterns of economic growth built on the back of fossil fuels.

Another CO2 record for the month of May (measurements vary by month throughout the year, so not the highest ever on record). I expect that soon, when it just gets too hot for too long during the summer months, people will claim they don’t believe in the reading on a thermometer:
414.8 parts per million

Here’s a link which shows a chart of air quality and temps in a large conference hall. During a long meeting CO2 levels increase measurably, as do temperatures. People become sleepy. Now imagine if it’s you, on Earth...

Another CO2 record...
Don't worry about it HOTPE, I am sure it is just some kind of Chinese plot. Mind games, fake news. I mean, come on, according to our Dear Leader, America has the best weather.

The tool said the other day that we " Have the cleanest climate"
Whatever that means.
