Since the industrial revolution began, the atmospheric abundance of key greenhouse gases have increased substantially. As of 2020, the globally averaged atmospheric abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) had increased by 149 percent, relative to 1750. Meanwhile, the abundance of methane (CH4) has shot up by more than 260 percent.
