I think there's likely a lot of possibilities out there and was hoping to

the ideas will be interesting!
I'm scraping atmospheric CO2 numbers daily from the United States NOAA:

They post the numbers by hand every day in a little box, but they don't make
those daily numbers available in a useful format. Until something is available
officially, it was easiest for me to scrape and accumulate on my own.
I use the most recent number for GHG.EARTH [0].
