Scientists are reporting. CO2 concentration exceeded the threshold of history! - Europeans

class=”c5″> U.S. Government laboratory in Hawaii reported that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere exceeded the historical threshold of 400 parts per million.

Scientists

world leaders call for action, after it has been reported that the carbon dioxide exceeded the limit value, with the highest concentration of human life time on earth. Although the threshold of 400 parts per million is largely symbolic, the scientists warn of a further increase in concentration and passivity on the part of states, which can lead to serious damage.

Earth has not seen such levels of CO2 from three to five million years, long before the existence of the people, when the temperature was a few degrees higher and the sea level was 20-40 meters higher than today – experts say. “We prehistoric climate in which human societies will create a huge and potentially catastrophic threats,” said Bob Ward, policy director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science. “Just urgently reduce global emissions, will be able to bring down the level of carbon dioxide and avoid the full consequences of climate change,” – he added.

data that daily measurements of CO2 concentrations over the Pacific reported 400.03 ppm, May 9 and were placed on the Internet by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration monitoring center in Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Separate measurements of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California, confirmed the excess concentration of carbon dioxide – reported value of 400.08 ppm.

Michael Mann, director of the Centre for Earth Sciences at Penn State, said that the main problem is the rate at which the CO2 concentration increases. “There is no precedent in the history of the Earth such a sudden increase in greenhouse gas concentrations” – said Mann. He also stated that it took nature 100 million years to change the level of carbon dioxide that man has made in just 100 years, which is a million times faster.

Scientists urge governments to cooperate and work on the processing of the energy system and reduce emissions. China and the U.S. agreed to cooperate in developing technologies to help solve the problem, but this is just the tip of the mountain. Analyst Roger Harrabin of the BBC said that so far there is still no positive response even from the European Union, which uses a large amount of fossil fuels.
