The carbon content of the atmosphere has almost doubled in two hundred years from about 220 ppmil in 1809 to over 400 ppmil today. The Carbon content of the atmosphere is now higher than it has been since before the Ice Age began over 2 million years ago. We can tell the history of carbon content in the atmosphere from glacial core samples in Antarctica and Greenland. In my opinion it is inevitable that this process will continue.
For example every single gallon of gasoline that is burned removes twelve POUNDS of Oxygen from the atmosphere and replaces it with 19.2 POUNDS of Carbon Dioxide. EVERY SINGLE GALLON OF GAS BURNED releases almost 7 POUNDS of Carbon directly into the atmosphere.
