Carbon dioxide levels have jumped about 100 ppm since 1958, when the American scientist Charles David Keeling first started recording daily atmospheric measurements using instruments at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. To put that in perspective, a similar increase took 10,000 years, from the coldest part of the last ice age to its end, according to an unpublished working paper by Siegert and his colleagues at the Grantham Institute.
The cycle is an intricate symphony in which the planet tries to regulate its temperature by naturally storing and exchanging carbon among the atmosphere, land, oceans, rocks and living organisms. But human-induced changes, such as burning fossil fuels or mass deforestation, can overwhelm the natural carbon cycle and outpace the planet's ability to offset elevated greenhouse gases."The rate of rise in the last decade has been faster than previous decades,” he said."We're just tracking ever onwards, and 400 ppm is now a distant memory.”
The plants will be happy and we might survive the solar minimum
well let's do what we can then shall we? Tesla
Trump says there is no problem. Let's send him where the air quality and the water is an issue.
Can increased carbon dioxide levels also increase earth's atmospheric pressure as on Venus? ASKNASA
U have no way of knowing what was going on 3,000,000 years ago.
But the bible says the earth is only 6000 years old? How is that possible?🤔
MemphoNewsLady Thanks for the info Joyce 😉
CO2 doesn’t raise temperature it’s a result of, but that doesn’t fit globalist one world government. We’ve had at lest 5 glacier advances and retreats before humans. Natural cycle of the earth.
Yet sanders, Biden and Bloomberg all defend china - the world’s biggest polluter.
BettyBo36691062 Celebs need to quit private jets
I am concern, what technology is use to calculate such? And also what technology and who was those that calculated such 3,000,000 years ago?
smallbits Yesssssss, there's no stopping us! The sky's the limit...sadly
Sad
Unbelievable we are in really big trouble!!
Awesome 😎
'This year's annual rise relatively large & similar to last year's due to continuation of the TEMPORARY weakening of the land carbon sink caused by climate VARIABILITY.This accelerates THIS YEAR'S annual CO2 rise by about 10%,with 1% & 2% due to 2019/20 Australian bushfires'
👏and👏we’re 👏still👏here👏
It’s so minor. What a joke.
We have only had records the last 100+ years So who told them that ? Another hoax bull crap YOU DONT KNOW THAT
What was the cause 3kk yrs ago?
Cro magnon man must have had some pretty advanced tools....
Wait but it was much much higher long before humans showed up. The one constant in climate is change. By all means let’s keep striving to have less impact but drop the hysteria. Fund research in technology and implement it. Incentivize carbon reduction and stable populations.
Trump: 'so much winning'
Great, India and China are trying to destroy the earth
ValueAnalyst1 Who was around back then keeping track? 🤔
I might be worried if i wasnt dead from every other hoax scare the MSM has peddled. Besides i live on the coast and ALGORE to me im underwater already
Vegetation don't mind
And humans weren't around
You need to talk to India and China on this Not America. We cant do it all by ourselves.
Who took that measurement 3,000,000 years ago
So, are plants growing better than ever?
.0004% that’s quite a bit
So, the sky is falling again...ok stop breathing for...
What is 400 ppm.? Plants etc.all die below 150 ppm. People inhale in average 400 ppm of CO2 and exhale 40.000 ppm. What’s the problem?
realDonaldTrump Mike_Pence FYI
It’s the end of the world as we know it
GOOD
After this administration cut back all the protections that keep all of safe allowing companies ,dump whatever they can in our atmosphere as past administrations trying to help us but this administration wants to hurt us and our planet will have huge potential consequences for it
'For the first time in Human History.' HUMAN history. Because it was much higher when Dinosaurs roamed the earth. I guess Dinosaur farts were more potent than cow farts.
Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all your touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be -Waters/Gilmour/Wright
Sweet! A new record. Gives me motivation to burn more trash and blow more black smoke with my deleted diesel truck. Bring on the climate change! Turn the whole world into a tropical paradise.
I’m looking out my window. Looks clear. Blue sky. Maybe you should publish this in China and India and leave us the f-ck alone.
And guest what...we didn’t have SUV’s or 7.8 billion humans on the planet...so stop it with tax dollars is going to change the earth being the earth
I’m sure the technology for measuring atmospheric CO2 levels has improved since then. amazingstatistic
nadabakos I suggest looking at this too.. METHANE levels
I'd like to see the calibration records for that analyzer that was used 3,000,000 years ago please.
nadabakos I feel young again!
Sounds like you guys just proved that man made climate change is a hoax.
We need more trees! And also FAR less fossil fuels.
They keep cutting down trees.
No who the H do they know what it was decades ago ..... or millions of years ago ?
Vegetation don't mind
Wait.. three MILLION years ago? There were no humans on the planet... did the dinosaurs run power plants and drive big cars?
michikokakutani Not over the United States of MAGA. We safe.
Oh humans!
Climate, Disease & Corruption. The Trinity of Human destruction & Extinction.
3mil years ago? Hahahahaha who was driving SUVs back then? What a hoax!!!
djrothkopf Congratulation to NBC and other liberal media that facilitate election of Trump by putting their pocket ahead of their planet.
KSD371 Who Says? Proof?!?
LewGarfinkel Then go after the big polluters like China Japan Russia. What caused it 3mil yrs ago? Man! Haha
NEW RECORD!
Fake news
Tell us more about the industrial revolution from 3000000 years ago that made the world perfectly habitable for humans afterwards.
eatMoreBats
They get these get these measurements by drilling ice cores in glaciers.
Is anyone else thinking how the hell did they get this or who the hell told them this information? They found it under a rock right🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣3,000,000?
Doesn’t this just prove it is natural cycles of the earths climate
Interesting article climate change is a threat to life on Earth and we can no longer afford to be spectators.
3,000,000 years ago fossil fuel use by human caused the elevated CO2
That means it already happened before without humans? So maybe it’s not humans doing this. It’s a planet.
The sky is not falling, regardless of the propaganda the media keeps spewing about Gore's Hoax.
SevereSociety Corona Virus will kill us before global warming does so who cares 😷
Awesome 😎
Not against climate change but how on gods green earth do we know that.
No climate change here, Trump would leave you to believe.
So what happened? Did the planet die then? Here we are, not extinct. So?
Plants like it at 1500 ppm like it was when they evolved. Our co2 supply was getting dangerously low for plant survival. All that fossil fuel co2 was once in our atmosphere. We are talking amounts in parts per million not percent.
Fear.
CO2 is high. How you gonna fix it, boss? Listen to science!! haiku haikusfromthenews
AND; maybe there was a deadly virus that came and killed off everything, just before the tilt that cause the Ice age and froze the virus. So go ahead thaw it out. We have no Idea what is down there. It might be Pandora's box.
And here we are, 3 million years later.
Wow! 3 000 000 years ago? That's why the likes of realDonaldTrump won't believe the hoax that global warming is as a result of human activity
MerrySuffocating, humans. Some rubes in Moscow tried faster and died.
My God its scary how bad the school system has been and still is in this country! Didn't you people ever have Earth science in middle School? If you did you'd understand this article.
Final Wake up call Get up already humans.
rhonda_harbison Prove this with a documented Antarctic core sample and who took the sample and if there were any papers written about it and put a link to it, please. Look to NASA’s satellite about the prevailing currents changing because of ice melt.We have to use empirical evidence. Take care.
Probably due from the excessive sea ice melt from the poles... releasing trapped co2... not including tRump lifting production limits on goods, that leave a massive carbon footprint.
'11,000 scientists' climate emergency petition includes a bunch of fake names via WattsUpWithThat
Someone help me understand. Did those goddamn camels also burn a ton of fossil fuels way back then or were we too quick to fix the ozone?
Climate Activists Used Disinformation And Imitated The City of Denver To Falsely Report A Climate Emergency
Earth's Atmosphere 2020 78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 0.04% Carbon Dioxide 0.96% Rest of gases Earth's Atmosphere 3 million years ago? 0.04% Carbon Dioxide
michikokakutani We visited Biosphere2 outside of Tucson a little over a year ago (November 2018) and the docent said we were getting close and now here we are.
So who caused those levels 3,000,000 ago? Uh huh. 😒🤨
We are following in the path of dinosaurs. ignorance and greed
There is a relationship with Australia for a few months of forest fire, garbage Australia
Human history isn't that long.
rhonda_harbison
Absolute Bullshit!
Hoax!
And it shows all around the world. Maybe it's the end.
fakenews ClimateChangeHoax
Humans are definitely contributing to the current Clinate Change. Most folks should be able to see that.
who was putting out co2 3million years ago? 🤔
Who recorded carbon dioxide 3 million years ago? Thats about the stupidest report i ever heard. Start reporting real news quit making shit up.
*atmosphere
Plant more trees!!!!!
Who took those measurements 3M years ago?
NBC was there back then reporting on it too! 👌💯
Every bit of carbon we release was once part of the atmosphere, 3 million years ago we had much larger plants that consumed larger amounts of Co2 🤫
Who was pumping out the C02 3,000,000 years ago?
But sure, humans aren't changing the climate. 🙄
I am thinking this could contribute to respiratory issues and compound lung problems. Time for cleaner energy.
This what we get CUTTIN' DOWN TREES? Replacin' w/HI DENSITY POPULATIONS? Bin no stoppin' it? But TRUE BELIEVERS patiently REJOICE? B a-waitin' LONG-PROMISED MILLENIAL ORDER? All d'WASTERS, TAKERS 'n HATERS please EXIT stage LEFT?!! 😃😃😃😎😎😎
Thanks idiots who aren’t listening to all the children protesting bc we want to live finely when you are dead. It’s shocking how many people don’t realize we will have to fix everything they left bc we want to survive.
This is inaccurate & another example of yellow journalism.
Quick someone go tell china it’s partly there fault
Posting this a dozen times will not change anything.
LisaHauser8 The beer was kinda sucky then, too. If we could just get people to quit exhaling.. Problem: what problem?
And of course, this cant be proved.
Plant trees. Literally Billions of them.
Who has been monitoring all this the last 3,000,000 years?
Earth about to be hottest places now.
Well... what do we do? Be frozen by Fear, as a specie will must adapt to the climate change if that is the reality.. yet 250 MYA, it was five times higher, and it was followed by an Ice Age...
We bought some house plants. All good now
Again, was it man-made then?
What type of instrument was used 3 million years ago to take these measurements and where was Gretha ?
Maybe the Covid-19 virus hitched a ride on it. COVID19
Damn, humans were polluting the atmosphere like this 3 million years ago?!? Apparently we haven't learned ANYTHING.
Oh no were gonna die, lmao
Finally returning to normal.
Give it a couple Days, China has cut it's Co2 Emissions by at least 50%, if not more.. OR We can plant MOR TREES!
So before humans were on the earth it was worse then it had every been? So maybe just maybe...this is a natural occurrence and levels have been fluctuating since the beginning of time. Just a theory..that is backed up by lots of science so I guess it’s not just a theory.
🌱
Yeah but someone sent me a YouTube video showing climate change is a hoax
Are their any types of (bad) wishes or congratulations messages created for such and future events on earth by humanity
You cant believe this and still believe in an abrahamic god...just saying.
Who set the record last time when humans weren’t on Earth?
But... the money!!
Who was to blame all those years ago
And the plants across the world couldn't be happier.
So humans weren’t responsible last time.
So, plant more trees. It's not rocket science.
I think we're past the tipping point.. Changing our behavior wont be enough to stop what's coming. Now we have to figure out how to scrub all the carbon from the atmosphere.
That was tested how
GreenNewDeal now!
Since we and every living thing are carbon-based , I'd say that's wonderful news.
Shut down volcanos and climate conferences now
Proving once again that earth had been here before & doesn't give a shit about us.
Not Humanity...THESE ARE SAVAGES,THUGS RAPING THE EARTH FOR PROFITS.
Yawn....
3 million years ago. What, too much manufacturing?
Good, the plants should love it!
A new study published in Nature estimates the planet has 3.04 trillion trees. The research says 15.3 billion trees are chopped down every year. It also estimates that 46% of the world's trees have been cleared over the past 12,000 years. We are going to need more trees, I fear.
'Humanity', become humane only after a catastrophe. May be a few will live... to be human again.
You know what reduces CO2 and increases O2. Plants! Stop deforestation, especially in the Amazon. Brazil is allowing the Amazon to be destroyed. Global warming is caused by humans.
The earth is loving it!
we dusted off the old Greek books.
When you people can predict weather or not it's Going to rain tomorrow with certainty come talk to me about what is going to happen 20 years from now
And yet the planet is still here, give it a rest already
The last time the planet experienced such high levels was more than 3,000,000 years ago. It survived and flourished !
How do they know... 3millions years ago
And Bernie Sanders was there, preaching about income inequality.
What a crock of absolute Bullchyt. Please disbanded your organization
400 per 1,000,000 ... doesn't seem like something to worry about.
Oh where is Greta to save us?
