It was 2006 when we blew past 380; 2016 when we blew past 400, and 2022 when we blew past 420. (I'm relying on Monthly averages since I happen to have that spread sheet open.)

The distance in time between 1995 and 2006, eleven years; between 2006 and 2016, ten; between 2016 and 2022, um, just six.

All that so called "renewable energy" for the mythological beast, the "energy transition" is working out just great, isn't it?
