It's just below this CO2 thing.

New CO2 Milestone: 3 Months Above 400 PPM

http://www.climatecentral.org/news/co2-milestone-400-ppm-climate-17692


April fell first. It lasted through May. Now June will be the third month in a row with average carbon dioxide levels above 400 parts per million.

Atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gas, which helps drive global warming, haven’t been this high in somewhere between 800,000 and 15 million years.



And while the 400 ppm mark is somewhat symbolic (as the increase in warming between 399 ppm and 400 ppm is small), it serves to show how much carbon dioxide has been put into the atmosphere since preindustrial times, when concentrations were around 280 ppm. The increase in this and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has warmed Earth’s average temperature by 1.6°F since the beginning of the 20th century. World leaders agreed at a UN summit in 2009 to limit warming to 3.6°F, but prominent climate scientists like James Hansen have said that amount of warming will still be too much.

(snip)

But plants only pull so much CO2 out of the atmosphere in a given growing season. Each year they leave a growing excess of about 2 ppm behind, which is why the 400 ppm mark came earlier this year than last and will come earlier still next year.

1. But there is a hurricane a coming, no time to report on this, sir, look at that storm, it will

now be explained to you and updated endlessly, after every commercial break there will be Breaking News!, preempting ALL other news until the media feels like covering another Obama fake scandal......or a cruise ship full of poop, or missing airplanes, or a hot baby death in a car......whatever comes first.

You will get a dozen replies and a couple recs, besides mine,,,,you need to add a hot baby comment or a kitten gif.

2. It's true, Fred Sanders, people can identify easier on a micro versus a macro level

on all manner of subjects.

P.S. I believe the macro level is just too big to absorb or deal with even if the repercussions from the macro level effect pose a much greater danger.

3. I fixed it.

[Fred Sanders]

4. Well, my prediction as to the attention your attention worthy post would get was correct, bet this

gets more views now, but a kitten/dog gif is still the preferred method round these parts.

400 PPM CO2.

Really, what the hell does that mean, will be the common response.

[Uncle Joe]

5. How do you do a gif?

[Fred Sanders]

6. Not a clue, and I prefer it that way.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Have you seen the video of this cute Dachshund running around with a roman candle in his mouth?

I wonder how high CO2 and Methane levels would have to reach before it killed all the little Dachshunds in the world?

8. I am saving that one for forwarding....stupid dog, is he deaf or something?

[Uncle Joe]

9. I believe he was trying to protect his owners from the monster roman candle.

He was brave, maybe not too bright, but he was brave.

10. You sly dog, you.

I see what you did there, ha!

Thanks very much for the thread, Uncle Joe.
(and the cute woofie video, too)

11. I confess to using some deception, countryjake but the subjects are related, if you love puppies and

dogs, and for that matter kittens, cats, bunny rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, birds, polar bears, and pretty much everything else about life including babies, children, and adults then we should be alarmed about this modern day, pre-historical recording breaking rise of global warming gases, because if its' not checked all those things we love are in danger.

Thanks for the thanks, countryjake.
