May 2010 ... 393 ppm ... and CO2 is Accelerating

by jamess


We live in Epic Times.

For nearly the last Million years, CO2 levels in the Atmosphere, stayed mostly below 300 ppm (parts per million).

Well those happy days are apparently over.

Welcome to the New Normal!

Preliminary data released June 7, 2010 (NOAA-ESRL MLO)


Well maybe 393 PPM of CO2 is not really that big of a deal?


CO2Now.org

What level is safe?

The upper safety limit for atmospheric CO2 is 350 parts per million (ppm). Atmospheric CO2 levels have stayed higher than 350 ppm since early 1988.


Well maybe that extra 43 ppm's is not really big enough to matter?  (... we can hope.)
