1. From CO2 Today

Daily CO2

May 13, 2016: 407.80 ppm
May 13, 2015: 403.80 ppm
Increase: 4.00 ppm

April CO2

April 2016: 407.57 ppm
April 2015: 403.45 ppm
Increase 4.12

It looks to me as though the planet's carbon sinks have saturated. This graph of the annual increases since 1960, which includes the current 4 ppmv rise, clearly shows the effect kicking in last year. Maybe it's just El Nino and we're all going to be fine. Maybe not.
