    Carbon dioxide levels hit landmark at 415 ppm, highest in human history

    Excerpt:
    Carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere hit a stunning milestone over the weekend.

    Data from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii showed that carbon dioxide levels surpassed 415 parts per million Friday.


    "We don't know a planet like this," Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist and writer at Grist, an online environmental magazine, posted on Twitter.

    Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have skyrocketed far higher than any levels in more than 800,000 years, according to data from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego, and levels have not been this high for millions of years, Holthaus said.

    "This is the first time in human history our planet's atmosphere has had more than 415 ppm CO2," Holthaus tweeted. "Not just in recorded history, not just since the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Since before modern humans existed millions of years ago."

    Can't possibly have anything to do with billions of humans burning fossel fuels. It must be fake science.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    We are entering the new age of the witch trials. All higher intelligent thought and science is being deemed heretical. If they could burn us at the stake they would. What I just said, is part truth, part hyperbole, part joke. LoL

    For now, just wait till they are devoured by the fires. Those of us who live in the woods, live on borrowed time. You just don't know what summer your stuff will burn to the ground these days. Where I live the trees are sick. Trees are dying. Carbon dioxide is not the only thing in the air. The pollution is killing trees all over the world. Not everywhere but in many places. Also the climate change is having drastic impacts and changing conditions and pests are also killing trees, and so is drought. Here is a link https://www.theguardian.com/environm...aii-sudden-oak and another https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...sed-and-dying/ there are lots of different links https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...astrophic-rate and another I could go on all day. https://www.sciencealert.com/across-...don-t-know-why

    Do cracked pots burn? Or do they simply finish cracking?

    It is a good thing. Before the industrial revolution we were headed downward in CO2, and that would have created an extinction event. Plants need abundant CO2. And we need plants.

    IOW, without the Industrial Revolution and fossil fuels, we would likely be doomed.

    Carbon dioxide is not a problem for plants. CO2 is necessary for them to live and thrive.

    Of course but they have much more than they can take in. We are not at a normal CO2 level. But I must admit you are quite the comedian.
