Climate Change Hits A Major Milestone as the Sixth Extinction Accelerates

From Conspiracy HQ

I always take a lot of flak for posting articles on Climate Change, but I see it first hand.

I see how climate change is changing the arctic in ways inconceivable just 10 years ago.   This summer and next we face a good chance of having an “ice free arctic” which regardless of the cause, will throw this world into utter chaos.

While I still believe that the sun, solar mechanics and other external forces are responsible for a good portion of climate change, but we can not negate the effect our society is having upon good ol’ mother earth.

Check out my interview with Guy McPherson who walked away from a comfy lifestyle as a college professor to become a self sufficient guru and live the change he wants to see happen.

Well today we hear a startling claim.   Carbon emissions have reached 400ppm which is the first time in 800,000 years.

In other words this is the first time Carbon has been that prolific in the atmosphere since Man first walked the planet.

 On May 2, after nightfall shut down photosynthesis for the day in Hawaii, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere touched 400 parts-per-million there for the first time in at least 800,000 years. Near the summit of volcanic Mauna Loa—where a member of the Keeling family has kept watch since 1958—sensors measured this record through sunrise the following day. Levels have continued to dance near that benchmark in recent days, registering above 400 ppm for the first time in eons after midnight on May 7. When the measurements started the daily average could be as low as 315 ppm, already up from a pre-industrial average of around 280 ppm.

This measurement is just the hourly average of CO2 levels high in the Hawaiian sky, but this family’s figures carry more weight than those made at other stations in the world as they have faithfully kept the longest record of atmospheric CO2. Arctic weather stations also hit the hourly 400 ppm mark last spring and this one. Regardless, the hourly levels at Mauna Loa will soon drop as spring kicks in across the northern hemisphere, trees budding forth an army of leaves hungrily sucking CO2 out of the sky.
