For two consecutive days last week, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the earth's atmosphere exceeded 402 parts per million (ppm,) higher than at any time in at least the past 800,000 years, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Carbon dioxide levels tend to peak in May, which means that they are likely to rise even more. According to an article in Mashable, a news and tech website, the latest figures "put humans into uncharted territory."
Just last month, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a damning report that illustrated the growing dangers of global warming. The panel focused on carbon dioxide emissions and warned about the dangers of inaction.

Yep, count those 800,000 tree rings.
Uh oh! The limousine liberals had better leave their giant palaces, and fly their private jets all over the country to tell us proles how awful we are for having a 4 bedroom home and a F-150.
That would be one fat tree!
Paging Chicken Little.
Paging Chicken Little.
I’ve visited the Bristlecone Pines. None are that fat.
I didn’t realize the USNOAA had been around that long! Imagine a government agency 800k years old.
Who says they measured? I suspect they just wrote numbers down that they liked. Kinda handy go go along with the upcoming elections and the UN global warming push.
They can get air bubbles trapped in ice cores. They can date the ice cores very very accurately. So they measure the carbon dioxide in a section of ice and then date the section to get the carbon dioxide in the air from x thousand years ago. that number varies over time.
After all, the “science is settled.”
Well just Damn! I will be mowing my grass more this summer - But hay - my Tomato crop may be a Record Harvest!
Man the lifeboats!!!!
Don’t you mean ICE BOATS?
It is called “settled science”. I’m sorry, but questions along the lines of scientific merit are not allowed.
I knew this was going to happen! LOL!
They can do some extension by overlapping tree ring records from fossil trees to that of contemporary trees. Still you’d be talking about a several hundred kilometer radius tree!
The plants are loving it, and the temperature has flat-lined for 17+ years at levels well below those of the Medieval Warm Period.
If “Science!” is good enough to solve for more variables than it has equations (aka Globull Warming) then it is So Magic It Should Not Be Questioned.
OK, several kilometer, not hundred. It would be visible from satellite.
Good info. Thanks for explaining.
So, if it’s “accurate”, NOAA has admitted we haven’t been this high since 798,000 b.c. Armageddon has lasted over 800,000 years!
Paging Jerry Bruckheimer. Please pick up the white courteousy phone...
> How exactly does one measure global co2 and compare it to 800,000 past year levels?
I would imagine ice cores but then again how can you really determine the accuracy of something like that really?
The left will do and say whatever it takes to push the global warming for profit crap down our throats even if it means publishing false scientific report findings to every well progressive / liberal website online (which is exactly what they are probably doing because the left never verifies or confirms information that bolsters their cause for accuracy)
