Warming triggering carbon dioxide in air hits new peak, growing at near-record fast rate

Mon, 2023-06-05 18:06 — mike kraft

Amount of warming triggering carbon dioxide in air hits new peak, growing at near-record fast rate The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has increased to record highs in its annual Spring peak. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations says carbon dioxide levels in the air are jumping at one of the fastest rates on record. Those levels are now the highest they’ve been in more than 4 million years. The last time the air had similar amounts was during a less hospitable hothouse Earth before human civilization.

Earth is danger zone in nearly all ecological ways--study

Thu, 2023-06-01 18:00 — mike kraft

Earth is 'really quite sick now' and in danger zone in nearly all ecological ways, study says A new study says Earth has pushed past seven out of eight scientifically established safety limits and into “the danger zone,” not just for an overheating planet that’s losing its natural areas, but for well-being of people living on it. The study, published Wednesday, looks not just at guardrails for the planetary ecosystem but for the first time it includes measures of “justice,” which is mostly about preventing harm for groups of people.
