Thanks to Dave for his question which prompted this answer.
Now I ask you what shall we do about this?
100 years ago CO2 was at 250 parts per million in the atmosphere. It is NOW at 425 parts per million.
Climate change will start with the melting of the ice caps at 450 parts per million, global catastrophy will start at about 550 parts per million.
At 550 parts per million, the gulf stream will reverse, the UK and western Europe will become almost uninhabitable, tidal effect will change and sea edge land masses will be underwater.
East Coast USA will become a near desert and the world population will have to survive on about 30% of the usable landmass for farming that we have today.
The USA and China are the two dirtiest countries in the world for the dumping of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Do you think that Climate change and CO2 should be an important talking point in the next USA elections?
