Carbon Dioxide At Record High, Stoking Warming
http://www.enn.com/climate/article/25729

And we have at best eight years to make that window. Pre- Industrial Revolution concentration of CO2 was 280 ppm. If current trends continue and we do nothing to mitigate CO2 emissions but continue spewing the millions of tons in the air we spew daily, the level would rise within 50 years close to 600 ppm (I think anything close to 400-450ppm is catastrophic) and that would be catastrophic

From the link: "The WMO said levels rose 0.53 percent from 2005 to 381.2 parts per million of the atmosphere, 36 percent above levels before the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century."
End of excerpt.

Will we see anything useful come out of the Bali conference? We must.
What are you prepared to do next year to make it happen?

2. Well, at least you responded.
Doesn't seem like many give a damn here otherwise.
