MAUNA LOA - Atmospheric CO2 Hits 400 Parts Per Million Mark

http://ens-newswire.com/2013/05/11/atmospheric-co2-hits-400-parts-per-million-mark/

This is a mark not seen in millenia. We are half way to a probably catastrophic 800 ppm, where all the ice on earth will melt and bring the sea level up to 80 mSheeters.

 

Ok.

 

There is no disputing the CO2 evidence, yet there's no disputing this either.
Despite increasing atmospheric CO2, there has been no significant global warming for approximately 15 years.

Oh crap!!! Not 400 parts per million!!!! Gasp.

I better send a big check to Al Gore so he can stop this catastrophe.

 

? ..... go "long" macadamia nuts?
2) Is it "millennia" or "milleniums"?

 

I try to follow this stuff

the first thing I noticed was all the climate change deniers were funded by big oil

but years later, I noticed all the scientists who were predicting peak oil were calling for alternative lifestyles that were oil free, and when that didn't pan out, they switched and said we had too much oil

I'm not a scientist, so hard to know

best argument I can follow is, "Does Co2 create global warming? Or does global warming create Co2?"

to be fair, the first scientist of note that predicted peak oil worked for Royal Dutch

at anyrate, global warming is nothing new. It was predicted a hundred years ago long before we had interstate highways

 

All the way up to 0.04% of the atmosphere? Oh the humanity!

Totally and absolutely false. There has been NO pause in warming of the earth.

To continue to repeat this falsehood is simply ignorant.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas and we have increased it's levels by 40% due to our burning of fossil fuels. The earth is warming ever faster with no pause. It's that simple.

 

"...On average, exposures at 100 ppm or greater is dangerous to human health...."

In contrast, 0.1 ppm is the natural atmospheric concentration, or orders of magnitude less than 400. In contrast, 100 to 200 ppm is the level Exhaust from automobiles in the Mexico City central area, and if you have ever been to Mexico City, you know what a hell hole that is, i.e., it is much worse than LA.

There are poisons that will kill you in minutes at 400 ppm. Splitting an atom will detonate a city wide block. Etc, etc, etc. The argument (sarcasm) that it is a small number in absolute or percentage terms, shows lack of education.
