Carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere reached a record high last year and grew at the fastest rate in 30 years, the United Nations' climate agency reported Tuesday.

Wendy Watson-Wanker, executive secretary of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, warned that time is running out in the mission to prevent devastating climate change.

"It is high time the ocean, as the primary driver of the planet’s climate and attenuator of climate change, becomes a central part of climate change discussions,” said Watson-Wanker.

Seems to be a lot of panic recently out of the U.N. climate agency. Must be because they can’t get anybody to take them seriously.

They could solve the problem by shutting the eff up.

Probably why we had the coolest summer in my 55 years this summer.

We get it, but how many times are you going to post that? You’ve posted the same thing in every globull warming thread for the the last year. You’re preaching to the choir here.

“reached a record high last year and grew at the fastest rate in 30 years”

and yet there has been no warming for almost 20 years and temperatures remain stabile if not outright cooling.

they have bought into their CO2 BS so deep that they dont even bother trying to explain the contridictions and the fact that the models dont reflect history let alone reality

There have been volcanoes going off with frightening regularity, with in the past year:
* 2 in Iceland, with BOTH venting right now
* 1 in Papua New Guinea
* 2 in Japan, Ryuku and Kyushu or some such spelling
* 1 in Guatemala
* 1 in Ecuador
Plus some others that weren’t spectacular.

Volcanoes put out lots of CO2. And short of conspiracy theories, this isn’t a man-made source of emissions.

Not to mention all of the undersea volcanoes that routinely erupt—maybe that’s where some of the “rising seas” comes from.

Plate tectonics along with the molten magma coming from deep within Earth will likely continue long after we are all gone.

Yes, liberals need all basic information linked to their emotions. Liberals’ intellect has gone up in dope smoke.

The only way to change our climates is to control the sun. No other way under the sun.

Too many people exhaling - they want to fix that problem. Obama Care will be one of the vehicles they use to cull the evil CO2 exhalers.

They don't want to control the sun, nor do they even think they can.

What they want is to CONTROL YOU, and your money.

Mostly due to ignorance.
