  • It is a graph representing the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere since 1958. 
  • The curve is named after Dr. Charles David Keeling, the person who created it. 
  • It is based on the continuous measurements taken at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the island of Hawaii. 
  • The keeping curve is considered as a trustworthy measure of CO2 in the middle layers of the troposphere and its findings serve as a warning signal for global warming.
