I’m honestly curious how one could think this would happen “all the time” in any sort of measurement scheme without things having gone wrong as a prerequisite.

I don’t know why you assumed I thought nothing was wrong with this. It’s obviously a bad thing.

I’m genuinely asking if total carbon dioxide levels are monotonically increasing normalized to the things I mentioned. Wouldn’t you be surprised if next May there is less CO2 in the atmosphere barring massive societal change?

CO2 is at record highs and still increasing. Every month should be a record high.
