Earth’s Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Levels Reach Alarming Mark in Human History; Breach 410 Parts Per Million ThresholdsteemCreated with Sketch.

Earth’s climate has been consistently degrading since the past few decades. According to Mauna Loa Observatory, based in Hawaii, Earth has recorded a new dangerous climate milestone on April 18 as the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have reached 410 parts per million (ppm). CO2 levels have never reached such a level in human history.

Mauna Loa Observatory has been recording atmospheric CO2 levels since its establishment in 1956. In 1958, CO2 levels were at 280 ppm. In 2013, it crossed two-fold mark by surpassing 400 ppm. Since 2013, CO2 levels have been revolving around 400 ppm mark. However, scientists have been warning people that the CO2 levels could soon hit a new milestone.

CO2 Levels 410 PPM

If the current trend in the atmospheric CO2 levels continues, mankind could end up witnessing a climatic change that has never happened in the past 50 million years. Gavin Foster, paleoclimate researcher, said it is depressing to see CO2 levels surpassing 400 ppm mark within few years. He adds – “These milestones are just numbers, but they give us an opportunity to pause and take stock and act as useful yard sticks for comparisons to the geological record.”

Do you have scientific evidence that CO2 causes climate change? Any paper that I can read?

I was refering to a scientific report. I didn't find any evidence on this site that CO2 causes climate change. If you have a link to a real analysis I'm interested

That is some very nice "concern trolling" you are attempting.

Not trolling at all. Just debating your claim

If the current trend in the atmospheric CO2 levels continues, mankind could end up witnessing a climatic change that has never happened in the past 50 million years

I was hoping you had something more solid to back it up, that's all..

"Not trolling at all."

Says the guy with a troll face avatar.

Stop trying to derail topic with ad hom attacks

Do you have proof or not?

hes a retard who can't do any searching himself don't bother talking to him

These are only citations with absolutely no source. If you are so intelligent why don't you explain to me the relation between CO2 and climate change instead of feeding me with a list of bunk unsourced garbage.

"These are only citations with absolutely no source."

what the fuck are you talking about?

Show me the actual paper where it says CO2 causes climate change. Your list is bunk with no reference.

" Your list is bunk with no reference."

I have literally no idea what you mean by that....... do you even know what a scientific paper is?

My mind is boggled by his statements.

There are no sources here! All I have is a massive list of citations. What good are citations? I want sources!

Facepalm!

I meant to say no sources, it is only references with no actual documents explaining the relations between CO2 and climate change. 99% of it is also irrelevant.

You know you can just look this up yourself right?

First result on google was a scientific paper on it lmao

have fun

"no reference."
what do you mean by that it is a reference to thousands of papers?
"the actual paper where it says CO2 causes climate change"

there isn't only one paper on it?

I made a post on the greenhouse effect you can read it..... it might help

The greenhouse effect theory has been debunked by many scientists.
How do you explain that temperatures have been warmer in the past with a lot less CO2 in the atmosphere?

because it takes time for the atmosphere to heat up? Right now the temperature should be on a downtrend but it has gown up insanely fast compared to anything that has ever happened in the past

on a side note the tempurture is going up more slowly because a huge amount of energy is going into melting ice, once we run out of ice the temperature will rocket up (5-6?) times faster than it is now.

also how did you debunk the emission spectrum of an atom?
The greenhouse effect is basic science......have you ever gone into a greenhouse? Its not that hard to understand
