The Invisible Problem: Understanding how carbon is warming the Earth
CBS “News” ^ | January 10, 2023 | BY DAVID SCHECHTER, CHANCE HORNER, HALEY RUSH, CHRIS HACKER

The destructiveness of extreme weather is one of the biggest stories of our time. When it comes to fire, drought and floods, we spend a lot of time showing you the effects of climate change. But it's also important to talk about the causes.

That is why CBS is making it a priority to report on climate change with "On the Dot" with David Schechter. In this ongoing reporting project, we will take you on a journey to discover how humans are changing the Earth and how the Earth is changing us.

As each day passes, an invisible problem is creating more danger for people on Earth. That invisible problem is carbon dioxide, and too much of it in the atmosphere is what drives climate change. Carbon dioxide comes from the fossil fuel energy we use, the vehicles we drive and the products we make. And according to NASA, people have raised the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 50% since the beginning of the 18th century.

"I think this is our main social environmental challenge for humanity, is how to live on this planet so that not only the benefits that we've enjoyed of a stable climate, of access to fresh water, of you know, not having fires in our neighborhood, that our children and our children's children have those same benefits," said Dr. Eugene Cordero, a climatologist at San Jose State University. "And I think we should be very, very concerned about this."

On future episodes of "On the Dot" we will continue to explore the problem of climate change and what we can do about it, looking at extreme weather, fire, drought and floods.

CO2 was >8000 ppm at the time of the Late Permian Extinction event. The Siberian Traps eruptions spewed orders of magnitude more CO2 than any puny humans ever could.

At the current level of 440 ppm atmospheric CO2, there is plenty of room for more. During the Jurassic Period atmospheric CO2 was 3,000 ppm !!!! 7 times as much!!
