The Earthâs atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent other gases, including about 0.04 percent carbon dioxide.And yes, Earthâs CO2 concentration stood at 400 parts per million in May 2015.Earthâs CO2 levels have been increasing in recent decades due to human activities and also natural factors, and some estimates say as little as 3 or 4 percent of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is due to humans.nd yes, Earthâs CO2 concentration stood at 400 parts per million in May 2015.

They tell us that levels of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any time in the past 400,000 years.During ice ages, CO 2 levels were around 200 parts per million (ppm), and during the warmer interglacial periods, they hovered around 280 ppm (see fluctuations in the graph).n 2013, CO 2 levels surpassed 400 ppm for the first time in recorded history. This recent relentless rise in CO 2 shows a remarkably constant relationship with fossil-fuel burning, and can be well accounted for based on the simple premise that about 60 percent of fossil-fuel emissions stay in the air.
