In case it wasn't clear, this is a bad thing.

Antarctic CO2, the last station on Earth without a 400 parts per million (ppm) reading, has reached it for the first time in 4 million years.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
I am not sure how to feel. It is either anger or sadness.

ReplyDeleteWatch the political spin the Australian Government will try and put on it. The Liberal National Coalition are the biggest environmental terrorists this country has ever known.

ReplyDeleteThe politics of Climate Change have only two camps, Anthropomorphic or denial. It is the same in the US where Conservatives reside in the denial camp and Progressives demanding change to stop or mitigate the growing liability of inaction.
So what caused it to hit 400 ppm 4 million years ago?

ReplyDeleteThere are two causes for a significant increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, a sudden addition or a sudden decrease in the process of CO2 sequestration or removal. It is more than coincidence that this increase in CO2 coincides with the onset of the industrial revolution and the exponential increase in combustion of Fossil Carbon along with the exponential increase in human population from 1 billion to 7.4 billion in only two human lifespans, the latter causing large scale deforestation and ocean acidification. The Carbon cycle has been disrupted by human technology which has the capacity to terraform the planet. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151116112706.htm
