There's very little suspense in these monthly CO2 reports, you know it's going up. The only interesting question is "How much this time?" Answer in this case, another record. Given that the 1.5C target is now history, they're going to need to come up with some new goal to shoot for at the next big COP tet-a-tet. Of course no matter WHAT goal they set odds are they won't achieve it, having the goals is important to document how epically we're failing at keeping the planet a habitable home for living organisms. This way, once we're down to the last 10K homo saps, they'll finally look at the history and say, "Wow, how fucking stupid can you get?"
