Good article containing section on atmospheric CO2 and history. Levels seem to be growing at about 2 ppmv (parts per million by volume) each year as a trend (though we have seasonal fluctuations of 6 ppmv due to plant growth).
Net increase of 110 ppmv since the Industrial Revolution. Since the atmosphere's CO2 composition is now at 383 ppmv, about 1/4 of it can be attributed to man-made sources.
In the last 400,000 years, the earth has "naturally" swung between 200 and 300 ppmv. But if you go back into the 100's of millions of years, we had levels above 2000 ppmv.

A pesticide is a substance or mixture of substances used for preventing, controlling, or lessening the damage caused by a pest.[1] A pesticide may be a chemical substance, biological agent (such as a virus or bacteria), antimicrobial, disinfectant or device used against any pest. Pests include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms) and microbes that compete with humans for food, destroy property, spread or are a vector for disease or cause a nuisance. Although there are benefits to the use of pesticides, there are also drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and other animals.
