The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is still rising, even though people are driving and flying less during the COVID-19 pandemic. CO2 reached an all-time daily high on May 3rd, hitting levels that haven’t been seen in the more than 60 years since records began.
The annual average is also expected to rise, according to an analysis published today by scientists at the national meteorological service for the UK and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. They found that the overall amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still climbing steadily, and that the dramatic changes from the pandemic barely slowed it down.
The data shows how much more ambitious efforts need to be in order to stop heating up our planet...
It may feel like the world has come to a virtual stop amid orders to shut down businesses and shelter in place during the pandemic. The effect that’s had on how much planet-heating pollution people pump out is already about six times greater than the 2008 Great Recession had on carbon emissions. But the total drop in global greenhouse gas emissions this year as a result of the COVID-19 crisis is projected to be just about 8 percent, according to the International Energy Agency.
An important thing to keep in mind is that carbon dioxide can persist in the atmosphere for hundreds to thousands of years after it escapes our factories and tailpipes...
Carbon dioxide concentrations have peaked each year since record-keeping began at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii in 1958.
Oh wait, it’s an island. They can’t run very far... Earth currently has increased volcanic activity around the edges of the Pacific Plate. Tell the alarmists to learn science, it really irritates them to hear those words from us knuckle-dragging troglodytes.
Nailed it
Yet they say "much more ambitious efforts need to be in order!"
Butt, butt, butt.............. Oh, duh! Grrrrreta has moved on to being a CV-19 expert now.
Rain/snow mix forecast for Mon/Tue here in the Reno area.
An up to date chart of CO2 levels. Plants become more efficient at using water up to 1500 ppm . This slow increase of CO2 has resulted in more plant growth world wide.
Obvious to most Freepers, the Global Warming scam is just another item the left is using to scare people in their unending quest for ultimate power.
I’m east of Albany and 2300’ elevation. At least we only got 4” or I’d be tempted to stick my head in the oven.
Since motor vehicle accidents result in over 6,000 per day suffering injuries or disabilities, and the economic and societal harm from crashes amounting to a whopping $871 billion in a single year, and about 40,000 deaths a year, thus 400,000 in 10 years- far more than any virus - then based upon the logic behind the Covid Captivity, then requiring a garage-in-place policy except for essential travel which requires a 6 car length (steel distancing) is fitting. Or bumper cars.
No,
The record-breaking cold weather was from a southward plunge of the jet stream in place to the east of the Rockies. That allowed a pipeline of cold air to dive southward from Canada into parts of the central and eastern United States.
During the Jurassic era the CO2 levels were 400 times higher than they are today. There were lush jungles that could sustain 100-ton dinosaurs. The biomass of the planet was at a record high. The Earth was never more alive than it was then.
CO2 levels today are about 0.04% (400 parts per million), which is just enough for plants to survive. If it drops to 150 PPM or lower plants will starve and die worldwide and render 90% of all species extinct (which has also happened before).
More CO2 improves crop yield, increases forestation, and has many other benefits.
Romans 5:8 says, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Before we were even born, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on our behalf to give us the opportunity for eternal life. This amazing gift comes to us because of His wonderful grace toward us: “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). We don’t have to earn His love; we simply accept it. https://www.gotquestions.org/does-Jesus-love-me.html

Matthew 25:46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
Matthew 13:42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Revelation 20:13-15 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

His wrath is poured out like fire And the rocks are broken up by Him.
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

That is your choice just as it is to be on this pro-God forum. There are opposites, and there is eternity, and by rejecting God-given truth and morality from your own conscience at time is in essence disobeying God, and means you need His mercy and forgiveness. And as "the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world" (1 John 4:14) then you need to repent and receive Him. Refusal to do so manifests that you do not want to be with Him who is perfect, leaving only one other opposite reality.
It’s naturally-occurring CO2. Try to tax Mother Nature, you Climate Cretins.
So a monitoring station in a area giant CO2 spitting mountains, crevices, and fissure is seeing increased levels of CO2? Oh know. What sayeth Fauci and his fawning Freapers have to say?
Should we lockdown until the experts say it is ok to breathe again?
Seriously the left considers climate change to be a bigger threat than WuFlu. By what logic in the Corona sense of logic do we not close down to stop it?
Didn’t Krakatoa just explode and launch major particulates into the earths atmosphere? Gosh. Think that may effect CO2 levels?
Sidenote: US economic activity can be roughly measured by the amount of highway traffic. Use of gasoline is closely related to the demand for ethanol. ADM, Decatur, Illinois is a significant supplier of ethanol. Most, if not all ethanol is shipped by rail. ADM stores their empties on the railroad museum tracks northeast of Monticello, Illinois along Interstate 72. There are now more than ever, by a factor of at least two, of tanker cars parked there. There is even a significant number of grain cars on this section of track. I would guess that this is probably the museum’s major source of income - probably more than the Christmas and Halloween trains.
Strangely enough, I haven’t experienced the usual hay fever here in NorCal this year. No idea how human activity could affect pollen counts.
Yeah, but that would have never been able to happen it the car traffic had not been reduced.
“concerning religion” I’m agnostic as well.
Concerning God the Creator and His son, the Christ, I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)
“Religion”, with all it’s factions and infighting notwithstanding.
Not me, I want some warmer weather!
