Das Wetter spielt verrückt (oder sind es die Menschen, die nicht die Kraft haben, nach all dem was wir vom Klimawandel wissen, gegen die eine Änderung durchzusetzen, die aus Profitstreben, von von Profiteuren (Auto und Kohlekonzerne, u.a.) dominierten Massenmedien nach einen Weiterso rufen!) on June 1, 2013

On May 9th, for the first time ever, the world’s most important CO2 monitoring station recorded daily CO2 concentrations above 400 parts per million — the highest levels found on earth in over 5 million years.The safe level of carbon dioxide in the atmostphere is 350 parts per million. “The only question now is whether the relentless rise in carbon can be matched by a relentless rise in the activism necessary to stop it.” on May 13, 2013

Global carbon dioxide levels set to pass 400ppm milestone – “The 400ppm is a sobering milestone, and should serve as a wake up call for all of us!” CO2 atmospheric levels have been steadily rising for 200 years, registering around 280ppm at the start of the industrial revolution and 316ppm in 1958. The increase in the global burning of fossil fuels is the primary cause of the increase. The approaching record level comes as countries resumed deadlocked UN climate talks in Bonn. No global agreement to reduce emissions is expected to be reached until 2015. The last time CO2 levels were so high was probably in the Pliocene epoch, between 3.2m and 5m years ago, when Earth’s climate was much warmer than today. on April 29, 2013
