2021 Version. Revisions were necessary because the data on carbon dioxide levels in the oceans has improved -- we have a better idea now of how carbon dioxide varies with depth worldwide. Also, the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere went from 350 ppm when video was first published in February 2015 to over 400 ppm in 2021.
