There is more carbon dioxide than ever in the atmosphere. That’s bad for the climate
Npr ^ | Rebecca Hersher

The amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has hit a new record, as humanity struggles to rein in emissions of greenhouse gasses from burning fossil fuels.

The new record comes as tens of millions of people are grappling with extreme weather in the United States. Much of the western U.S. is experiencing the first major heat wave of the year, which is driving temperatures 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than what is normal for June. In the Southwest, temperatures are lingering well above 100 degrees.

Such extreme, prolonged heat is directly related to human-caused climate change, scientists say. All the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere traps heat, and leads to more intense, frequent and persistent heat waves, and other extreme weather such as powerful hurricanes and heavy rain storms.

A graph to remember for every "more than ever" statement by the left on the climate. The Modern Warm Period is nothing new under the sun.

AN increasing Co2 level is a lagging indicator of warming. Not the driver.

So plant more trees. The process of photosynthesis should take care of the extra Carbon Dioxide.

The oceans are under-saturated with respect to carbon dioxide. They absorb it and critters grow their shells faster. They die and fall to the bottom. And viola, limestone is ultimately formed and carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere.

Any scientist making these claims is a fraud, and either being paid to lie, or is hoping to get more grants by pushing this false narrative.

Too bad young people are indoctrinated instead of educated. They'll believe anything.

Please, NPR, tell the public how much CO2 is in the atmosphere. Latest wikipedia article says .04%

I think there is more BS in the atmosphere that has been created by the government-media complex.

“There is more carbon dioxide than ever in the atmosphere. That’s bad for the climate”

Is that because of the worldwide deforestation that’s occurring? Someome ought to tell the Greeniacs that trees suck up a lot of CO2 and emit O2 and they should send protesters to those site to stop the killing of the trees and planet.

Our taxes are paying for this bilge.

The Indonesian volcano spewed more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 8 hours than all of the planet’s vehicles did in a decade.

Maybe NPR has a plan to neuter the earth’s volcanos.
