CO2 is going up, temperature peaked in 2016 and has been going done.

The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual Spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest rates on record, officials announced Monday.
Carbon dioxide levels in the air are now the highest they’ve been in more than 4 million years because of the burning of oil coal and gas. The last time the air had similar amounts was during a less hospitable hothouse Earth before human civilization took root, scientists said.
“To me as an atmospheric scientist, that trend is very concerning,” said NOAA greenhouse gas monitoring group leader Arlyn Andrews. “Not only is CO2 continuing to increase despite efforts to start reducing emissions, but it’s increasing faster than it was 10 or 20 years ago.”
Because of that “we are still dealing with CO2 in the atmosphere that was emitted in the early-to-mid 20th century,” University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado.
“We are absolutely at levels unseen in human civilization,” Furtado said. “Humans are running a massive experiment on the Earth climate system via burning carbon, and the results are turning out not great for a lot of people on this planet.”

Why don’t these people ever publish the percent of CO2 present in the Earth’s atmosphere?
Yup, and the media and libs never reveal those facts.
CO2 makes up approximately .04%, or 4/100th of 1 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere.
We do have increased in plant growth from the increased CO2, which is a great thing! It helps feed more people and animals.
Any guess on who's lying?
Well with increased CO2 its possible to grow more plant matter on less land. I suppose its possible that the amount of land that they classify as “rain forest” (e.g. jungle) may be decreasing, but I have not looked into it so am not sure—but if so, having more CO2 will help mitigate the damage to animal and plant populations.
.04%. Yup. I know that. You know that. The intellectually unwashed morons in this country are clueless. The Stupid Party, aka Republicans should know it, but if they did, they are too frigging dumb and lazy to educate the unwashed. >P>
With a few exceptions, it takes a special kind of stupid to be a politician. These jerks still use hand drawn‘70s flip charts.
CO2 is going up, temperature peaked in 2016 and has been going done.
All the lies, all the time...
What are electrolytes!?! Do you even know!?!
“Carbon dioxide levels in the air are now the highest they’ve been in more than 4 million years...”
So this asswipe has concise, accurate scientific measurements going back 4 million years? Whatever the case, we are doing just fine.
