Enjoy Earth While It Lasts: Atmospheric Carbon Levels Pass the Point of No Return (RUH ROH!)
complex.com ^ | 9/28/2016 | Mac McCann

The bad news: Earth's climate change problem just passed a point of no return. Atmospheric carbon levels have passed 400 parts per million, and they won't return to more environment-friendly levels "ever again for the indefinite future."

The good news? Oh, wait, no. Sorry. We're pretty screwed.

Carbon dioxide just hit its annual minimum at Mauna Loa Observatory and failed to dip below 400 ppm https://t.co/m0ZoyzgcEf — Climate Central (@ClimateCentral) September 28, 2016

We already knew it was bad. After all, in the last 20 years, humanity destroyed 1.27 million square miles—10 percent—of the Earth's wilderness. Climate change has "devastated" 93 percent of the Great Barrier Reef. The world's so screwed that genius Stephen Hawking recently claimed that "the human race has no future if it doesn't go to space."

I especially like the duct tape part. Is that the flux capacitor?

As Lenny Bruce used to sarcastically scream in his stand ups in the Village way back in the day, “ WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!”

It's the CO2 Scrubber they had to put together from Apollo 13 from random parts in order to survive.

“Pass the Point of No Return”

Yes, but more importantly can we find some way to tax the people before we are doomed?

Good. Maybe now that we’ve passed the point of no return, the warmist dummies will give it a rest. After all, there’s nothing we can do about it, right?

I thought “enjoying” Earth was kind of the point.

If we are screwed now, why don’t these idiot anti-science scientists stop stealing our tax money for their idiotic studies and shut the **** up?

From our FRiend ROCKLOBSTER to put this number in perspective

Thanks.

re RL: .04%...That's not even close to one percent.

It's not even close to a tenth of a percent. Actually, it's pretty close to ZERO.

So does this mean they have to shut up now about their power/money/freedom theft schemes, since it’s already too late anyway? Or at least make some falsifiable predictions and then live with the results? Oh wait, they’re libs. Never mind, carry on.

There is a lot of money and power in the global warming business. False nightmares is it’s only product.
