WASHINGTON -- The world's air has reached what scientists call a troubling new milestone for carbon dioxide, the main global warming pollutant.

Monitoring stations across the Arctic this spring are measuring more than 400 parts per million of the heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas and stays in the atmosphere for 100 years. Some carbon dioxide is natural, mainly from decomposing dead plants and animals. Before the Industrial Age, levels were about 275 ppm.

“Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas and stays in the atmosphere for 100 years”

I thought water vapor was the “chief greenhouse gas?”

Oh pulllleeeeeze.

Note to all those with any kind of “climate” degrees.

You can get your money back from your colleges.

They’ll exchange your phony science degree for one in womyn’s studies.

I'm in favor of them being allowed to inhale. They just shouldn't be allowed to exhale.

Yes it is, followed by methane I believe.

“Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas and stays in the atmosphere for 100 years.”

Yes, exactly like swallowed bubble gum stays in your stomach for SEVEN years.

Some constants in the Universe are without question — as long as they have Big Media’s blessing!

CO2 is only about 25% of the total greenhouse gases.

Before the Industrial Age, levels were about 275 ppm.

Uh...NO...WATER is the “chief greenhouse gas” as it comprises 95% of all such, same!

CO2 averages 3.5%....so....RELAX!!!

Sounds like they need to move the milestone out of the way.
