However, scientists are increasingly concerned that carbon dioxide levels are not falling fast enough

The more interesting news is co2 levels are falling, when did that happen? Last thing I saw was us breaking through 430ppm.

comparing a single days reading is absurd to me.

the atmospheric CO2 amount fluctuates seasonally (due to the northern hemisphere forests leafing out) which has all manner of factors adjusting the start and end. especially early season where overall warmer conditions in upper latitudes is going to push leaf out forward.

those crests of every little wave is the peak cumulative sequestration of northern forests prior to seasonal senescence of deciduous trees.

the overall yearly average trend up is the existential problem, so yearly averages are what matters.

The yearly average from 2023 to 2024 was 3.75 ppm, worse then that daily reading. But yes, you are correct that the average is what matters.
