Human-made CO2 on exponential rise

I love it when Jan jumps and has a few passionate words for the viewers.

I AGREE. THE FOR CHANGE IS NOW....

isn't that Obamas Major Theme?

Can Obama actually convince industrial countries from not making the same mistakes as US?

It would logical to not repeat the same mistakes, and since no one has learned that as there are still wars in the world, then what makes US believe it will change now?

I guess an example is in order by mother nature as moses did when he returned from the mount.

At some point, and extreme will occur, then, and only then, for maybe a year, people will change, until then, it's up to each individual to make the change, to boycott things that pollute, spread the word as Jan does on forums, street signs, over passes, public demo's.

Otherwise... well you know... it will be too late...

Njoy it while it lasts...

If the CO2 percentage is doubling every 30 years, Why hasn't the amount travelled higher? If it was 280 ppm before industrialisation, why is at ONLY 385? Your numbers don't add up mister.

"Human-made CO2 on exponential rise"

and nothing is happening...

Humans don't cause the planet to heat up, the Sun does.

No wonder your name is JanforGore, you'll believe anything he says.
Let's get one thing straight right here, Al Gore is not a climatologist, meteorologist, nor even a scientist in general. He is a POLITICIAN and as we all know politicians always tell the truth *cough*.

Global Warming, give me a break, why don't you play a new tune and do it somewhere else because the truth has come out and you know it.

THIS PSEUDO SCIENCE MUST STOP. People don't realize this "carbon craze" and cap and trade tax have ONE political purpose: to DESTROY THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS as well as curb industrial and economic growth in Africa.

Do you think taxing cow farts is not supposed to be a big joke? Seriously - taxing cow farts? You're feeding into destroying not only Africa but also the middle and lower classes of America. You're so desperate for a solution to a problem that was engineered for you to worry about that you don't see the repercussions of the horrible solutions your government has offered to the 'problem' it created!

You can't just start taxing the hell out of all the poor people and expecting the problem to solve itself! According to history, global warming has happened in the past and will happen again in the future regardless of what we try to 'do'. Do you remember Europe's Little Ice Age? We attributed a whole witch hunt to the weather change - the same shit is happening now! A CO2 witch hunt! Let's tax breathing and dry ice while we're at it! Are people so blind to history that they'll just accept the pseudo science aimed directly at tugging their heart strings until they find themselves taxed out of every single aspect of their lives and their children's lives?

I have a suggestion - how about we start worrying about literally and actually HELPING PEOPLE instead of spreading information to make money for people like MR. AL GORE and other POLITICIANS who don't give a FLYING FUCK about the poor, Africa, and the dying middle class. Wake up!!!!! This is getting to be too much!

And before you jump on some easy bandwagon attacking me for being a 'conservative' or a 'cousin fucker' as one of you bag headed ultra eco Nazis once eloquently called me, just know I live in a passive solar container and dome house, so your pre-fabricated personal attacks make no sense. I'm all for driving cars that get better gas mileage and living in a sustainable fashion in order to save money, but these taxes are classical fascism at its finest. If you haven't studied history, don't tell me I'm wrong.

I happen to have a PPM meter(tools of the trade),this past summer in N Cal 750-900 ppm

to be fair to OIL we did have a few forest fires for a few weeks started by a dry thunder storm never seen or heard of around here

Its like trying to work out a budget with no source of income.

From the article:

Human-produced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing exponentially, and has been for at least the last 50 years, according to a new study.

Using measurements of atmospheric CO2 from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, David Hofmann of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo. and a team of researchers determined that humanity's contribution of the greenhouse gas has been growing at a steady 2.3 percent since recording began in 1958. At that rate, CO2 doubles every 30 years.

The team's findings agree with the 2007 estimate from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which predicts that the preindustrial CO2 level of 280 parts per million (ppm) will climb to over 500 ppm by the year 2050 if we keep up our unregulated emissions.

At that threshold, global temperatures are expected to be about 3 degrees Centigrade (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than preindustrial levels. The effects of global warming like sea level rise, changes in precipitation patterns around the planet, and ocean acidification could endanger coastlines, ecosystems and food supplies.

Carl Sagan said it best:

"That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.

The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
