Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2013 as increasing levels of man-made pollution transform the planet, the U.N. weather agency said Tuesday.
In an annual report, the World Meteorological Organization said that carbon dioxide, the heat-trapping gas blamed for the largest share of global warming, rose to global concentrations of 396 parts per million last year, the biggest year-to-year change in three decades.
That’s an increase of 2.9 ppm from the previous year—and is 42 percent higher than before the Industrial Age, when levels were about 280 parts per million. The 2012 level was itself up 2.2 ppm from a year earlier. …

And the plants are LOVING it!
“Still measuring CO2 levels at the summits of volcanoes, are we?”
Yup. With the sensitive part of the measuring device right under the nose of the brilliant, intellectual,
really-really smart, all-knowing, U.N. “scientist”.
IMHO
“That’s an increase of 2.9 ppm from the previous year—and is 42 percent higher than before the Industrial Age.” really, how far before the industrial age. Wanna bet they were much higher in the distant past including during a few ice ages???
OMG! An increase of almost 3 — yes, I said 3! — parts per MILLION!!! I’ve told my wife to start canning oxygen! The end is near ...
And what are they doing about it in China and India? I believe those two pollute the most.
Which definitely disproves the theory that CO2 causes global since there’s been no warming for the last 19 years.
Once the Earth starts cooling down due to the low level of magnetic activity of the Sun, the oceans will start reabsorbing the CO2 they’ve been releasing.
I think Ebola can fix that by wiping out half the population of Africa!
So what?
It’s getting colder.
Well, by all means, shut down the UN so they stop blowing all that hot co2 laden air out of their collective derrières...
Barry does open his mouth a little too much and there has been a significant increase in liberal activist organizations yapping and Al Sharpton rallies in recent years. Coincidence?
Since CO2 is what plants and man breeths to live, banning as a pollutant will kill everything.
Way to go Environmentalists!
/Sarcasm OFF
My trees are loving it which is good because I plan on burning some of them to keep warm during the coming global cooling period.
The UN needs to stop HAMASS from shooting up all of those CO2 producing rockets.
Oh noes! What are we going to do with all those tomatoes!?
Although al has lost considerable weight recently .the massive capacity of his lungs...combined with his unmatched capacity to endlessly yammer on has not been affected.
giveb that data set...I would strongly recommend that we:
Ban Al Sharpton Now!
Roger that. At least if we aren’t saving the planet, we’re trying to save the plants. Maybe I’ll try to produce some extra See-Uh-O-2 today in preps for the coming winter months.
CO2 at a record high and no actual warming for 18 years.
This should tell them something, but it won’t.
Exactly. CO2 isn’t a pollutant, however the UN is.
