Grist - the Latest from Grist —
By Joseph Romm NOAA's Global Monitoring Division reports that global concentrations of the primary heat-trapping greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, jumped 2.28 ppm in 2008. A study in Science from the Global Carbon Project (see "More on soaring carbon concentrations") noted: The present concentration is the highest during the last 650,000 years and probably during the last 20 million years. Worse, the rate of growth of CO2 concentrations this decade is 2.1 ppm a year -- 40 ...
