Keelings Curve looks at the carbon cycle of the earth
What does it show
That there is a yearly cycle of the rise and fall of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that correlates with the number of leaves on the trees (summer and winter)...but also that these are rising as a whole over the last 60 years because there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than ever before
