Re: Any laws being broken?
My understanding is that the first regular atmospheric monitoring of CO2 was from Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii and began in 1958.
https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/index.html
Readings before this time exist but performing a detailed breakdown of rises and falls between 1900 and 1958 to compare to the information we have between 1958 and the present day is difficult as the majority of readings before 1958 are for short time periods across multiple locations and therefore subject to local variations or based on results covering a multi year time period.
NASA's data combines multiple sources of CO2 data (in particular ice core samples) over much longer time periods for trend analysis (https://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/trends/co2/modern_co2.html).
It's left as an exercise for the reader to determine if scientists best efforts adequately explain pre-1958 results as the views of a random commentard are unlikely to alter your opinions.
