Atmospheric CO2 Counter – WikiClimate
This page shows the current ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The calculated figure uses estimates of the level of carbon dioxide (CO2 – the main greenhouse gas) based on actual measurements taken monthly a worldwide network of stations and collated by the Earth Systems Research Laboratory (ESRL) in Boulder, Colorado. The record of CO2 concentrations available from ESRL stretches back over 50 years.

Dan’s Wild Wild Science Journal
“Not that it will change any minds. The overwhelming evidence of the last decade has convinced all those it will I think, but just in case there are those who are just beginning to ask questions…
A few months back, I was adding up the record highs and the record lows for some sample years in the 1990’s and 2000’s. A friend tipped me to the raw data. He told me that there was a definite trend, with a marked decrease in record lows and an increase in record highs.
With just a little bit of research, I quickly spotted the pattern. Since the planet is warming due to increased greenhouse gases, it was no real surprise. I really should have written something about it back then, but it would be anecdotal and not science.”

Fourteen Democratic senators stick up for coal | Grist
“14 Democratic senators affirmed their allegiance to the profits of polluting industry at the expense of the health and jobs of their constituents. In a letter to Senate leaders, a bloc of senators with powerful coal interests in their states called for “fair emissions allowances in climate change legislation.” Their definition of “fair,” unfortunately, turns out to be full taxpayer subsidies for global warming polluters. “

Tuna in peril as catches reach triple the limit – environment – 12 November 2009 – New Scientist
“TIMES are tough for tuna. The guidance of scientists that advise groups that manage tuna stocks is falling on deaf ears.
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas meets this week in Brazil to set catch limits. ICCAT’s scientific advisers have told it that stocks of the giant bluefin tuna are plummeting towards collapse. Catches in 2008 were at three times the ICCAT limit, which is itself more than what its scientific advisers consider sustainable (see “Tigers of the sea”)Movie Camera. “It’s like the year before the collapse of the northern cod,” says Dan Pauly at the University of British Columbia, Canada. In 1992 the Newfoundland cod fishery collapsed. It never recovered.”
