Another week with > 3 ppm yearly increase. Bad in fact, as it topped last year's maximum by more than 3.5 ppm:
Week beginning on May 12, 2019: 415.39 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 411.84 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 390.12 ppm

A chaotic day with high variability does not deliver a daily average today. From the hourly averages it might be concluded that 2019's maximum happened on May 15 with 415.64 ppm.
Last year's average the following week was around 411.5 ppm. To receive a difference below 3 ppm/year next week a decrease by about 1 ppm or more from this week's values is necessary.
A relevant reduction of the CO2 levels did not occur, therefore:
Another week with > 3 ppm yearly increase.
Week beginning on May 19, 2019: 414.74 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 411.44 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 390.53 ppm

When will this crazy development end?
Off-topic:
The green party has won more than 20% in the EU parliament elections today and became the 2nd biggest party in Germany. Together with two other ecological/animal protection parties more than 23% of the voters want a change in politics into more ecology and protection of our natural resources. Thanks to Greta Thunberg who helped a lot. In the age group of 18-24 the green party won 34% of the votes, and according to an analysis of ARD the greens were the biggest party in all age categories below 44
59 years (edited according to final results on May 27).
Guess what I voted for?
