I don’t understand all of the hysteria over global warming, we don’t know jack when it comes to its effects. The Global warming Climate change people are completely too politicized, to make any common sense. Anyone that has every taken a science course in high school or college knows that you can only make a prediction after reproducible and verifiable results. This is a single monitoring station in the middle of the pacific with a single high reading; the reading went from 399 ppm to 400 ppm, 1 ppm doesn’t seem like a large jump in the CO2. The author acknowledged that we don’t know the extent of the effect of higher CO2 is on our climate so how can you say that a 1 ppm jump is all that terribly bad? I bet Al Gore was smoking a big fatty right next the sensor to artificially inflate the numbers. I don’t think you will find a single person that will deny the fact that we have an impact on our planet; the question is to what extent and for how long. Is CO2 levels currently causing global climate change or is it a part of a bigger cycle that these nimrods can’t comprehend? We already know about an 11 year solar cycle which effects climate on an 11 year cycle, El Niño. My point to the hysterical climate change people is that we don’t know and very few people will change their habits to save the planet. This is a political game, nothing more nothing less; it’s a means to an end. If you truly had an interest in saving the planet and believed in all of the hype, the solution isn’t conservation, it’s a new incredibly efficient and abundant form of energy that isn’t polluting nor expensive. Today the source of energy is called nuclear fission (with a small amount of easily contained waste) and in the near future nuclear fusion will lead the way to abundant, cheap, non-polluting energy. Until the eco nazi group wakes up and make their case with a solution, I’m not paying any more attention; I’m shrugging climate change.
