The World Passes 400 PPM Threshold. Permanently

In the centuries to come, history books will likely look back on September 2016 as a major milestone for the world’s climate. At a time when atmospheric carbon dioxide is usually at its minimum, the monthly value failed to drop below 400 parts per million.

That all but ensures that 2016 will be the year that carbon dioxide officially passed the symbolic 400 ppm mark, never to return below it in our lifetimes, according to scientists.

Because carbon pollution has been increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution and has shown no signs of abating, it was more a question of “when” rather than “if” we would cross this threshold. The inevitability doesn’t make it any less significant, though.

September is usually the month when carbon dioxide is at its lowest after a summer of plants growing and sucking it up in the northern hemisphere. As fall wears on, those plants lose their leaves, which in turn decompose, releasing the stored carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. At Mauna Loa Observatory, the world’s marquee site for monitoring carbon dioxide, there are signs that the process has begun but levels have remained above 400 ppm.

Expect the co2 level to rise as we get into oct! I expect May of 2017 will hit 409ppm for the monthy and 411 for a daily.

OH MY GOD! THE WORLD IS ENDING! Oh....wait. It seems to be carrying on and nothing is happening. Never mind....

why are people allowed to vote on issues they have no clue about ? why does a moron have the same political power as someone who actually knows what they vote about ?

Why are those who profit the most from this scam bankers, politicians, and bureaucrats? Why are there NO draconian laws being passed to halt or reverse the increase in CO2? Why is their mantra "it's not OK to pollute unless you pay us...those who produce nothing mind you, but if you pay us you can continue to pollute".

Get a clue clown it is about taking your money away from you and them being able to flit about on their private jets from one massive estate to the next, while you peons are forced to live in densely packed housing, not allowed to travel, and certainly not allowed to think for yourself.

Where they live......

Where they want you to live....

Let me know when the atmospheric CO2 reaches even close to the average concentration for planet earth.

 

[Crick]

There have been large portions of the EARTH'S history in which conditions would no favor the well being of homo sapiens. Wouldn't it be more effective to compare the current CO2 levels to the average levels during the last 200,000 years since homo sapiens first appeared? Of course it would, but you wouldn't like the results, would you.

Sure we would. CO2 has no effect on global temps. If it did there wouldn't have been three ice ages over the last 200,000 years silly boy. CO2 LAGS temp. That is a fact. Deal with it.

Of course not you idiot....the earth is clawing out of an ice age....till you get back far enough in time to reach a period before the glaciers advanced, you are looking at very cold oceans which hold a lot of CO2....go back to the period just before the glaciers started their advance...and you will find a climate that we would have loved...and atmospheric CO2 was in excess of 1000ppm... and the fact that the glaciers started advancing with atmospheric CO2 levels over 1000ppm sort of hangs the bullshit sign on your belief that CO2 causes warming and will eventually cause some sort of tipping point to be reached accompanied by runaway global warming.

The historical record has numerous examples in which CO2 warmed the planet because it is unavoidable that it will act in that direction. That it can be overwhelmed by Milankovitch cycle states and and almost pure white albedo is not surprising.

As I've said before, to suggest that CO2 does not warm the planet is unsupportable, therefore STUPID.

If what you are saying is even remotely factual then the Earth would have never cooled down in the first place. Most of Earths history has seen much higher levels of CO2 atmospheric concentration. Thus, if it were the magical element you claim, the Earth would still be 12 degrees warmer than it currently is.

Can you not read? "That it [CO2 warming] can be overwhelmed by Milankovitch cycle states and and almost pure white albedo is not surprising."

Mr. Westwall, you have been stating that we are in for a cooling period real soon for over ten years now. And, in that period, we have seen the warmest years on record. 2010, 2014,2015, 2016. I don't think your attempt at science is very impressive.

No crick....there are numerous examples of CO2 following warming.....there are no examples of CO2 causing warming because it doesn't happen.

I love this global warming. Coolest summer in southern california in years.

No, we haven't. 1997 global temp 62 degrees. Then, magically NOAA decides to "reinterpret" the data and now 58 degree's is suddenly warmer than 62. In other words they are lying, and idiots like you lap it up.

They talk, in anomalies now because if they used actual temperatures they would be laughed at by the entire world.

 

[Crick]

Would you mind explaining how you think using anomalies vice absolute temperatures allows them to do what you've accused them of doing?

 

[Billy_Bob]

Simple... They fudge the numbers by changing the base line for the two periods// Just like they did this year... If they used absolute temps they couldn't lie about it..

 

[SSDD]

Would you mind explaining how you think using anomalies vice absolute temperatures allows them to do what you've accused them of doing?

How much angst do you really think could be generated by talking about a temperature increase from 14.2C to 14.8C over the past 100 years? Of course you hysterics would panic and wave your hands because you are instructed to...but that is just because being unable to think for yourselves, you just naturally do what you are instructed.

 

[Crick]

So, you think the changes in anomaly values are larger than the changes in absolute values? Is that what you're saying?

Nope...they are a means of making the mundane sound much more interesting than it is...they are a language tool of the activist....much like using crazy scales on graphs to make minor....insignifigant changes appear to be cosmic events....it is all about packaging to achieve a desired effect...not actual science.

 

[SixFoot]

It's already noticeable as well. This year's crops were AMAZING!
8 gallons of fresh-pressed, preservative-free, apple wine, arriving just in time for Thanksgiving.

That's questionable and it's NOT what you were just saying. I think the lay public would be much more impressed with actual temperatures than "anomalies". Of course the average temperature of the planet is not what most people would consider hot, or even warm. Anomaly is a much more effective way to discuss how temperatures are CHANGING.

Is there no limit to what you fools can try to draw into your paranoid delusions?
