"In this section, the dataset is grouped by year to compute key statistics for atmospheric CO₂ concentration: minimum, maximum, and mean values for each year. This allows us to observe not only the general trend over time but also the seasonal variation within each year."

"Thus, the measurements of CO₂ concentration collected at the Mauna Loa Observatory show a gradual increase from 315.335 ppm in 1958 to 424.348 ppm in 2024. This rise is primarily attributed to the burning of fossil fuels and has been accelerating in recent years. Since CO₂ is a greenhouse gas, this upward trend has significant implications for future global warming."
