   The amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere reached 419 parts per   
   million   
   in May, its highest level in more than four million years, the National Oceanic   
   and Atmospheric Administration announced on Monday.   
      
   After dipping last year because of pandemic-fueled lockdowns, emissions of   
   greenhouse gases have begun to soar again as economies open and people resume   
   work and travel. The newly released data about May carbon dioxide levels show   
   that the global community so far has failed to slow the accumulation of   
   heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, NOAA said in its announcement.   
      
   "We are adding roughly 40 billion metric tons of CO2 pollution to the   
   atmosphere   
   per year," said Pieter Tans, a senior scientist with NOAA's Global Monitoring   
   Laboratory, in a statement. "If we want to avoid catastrophic climate change,   
   the highest priority must be to reduce CO2 pollution to zero at the earliest   
   possible date."
