Higher Than At Anytime In The Last 800,000 Years

BBC reports that scientists studying the deepest ice core ever extracted from Antartica have found that: Carbon dioxide levels are substantially higher now than at anytime in the last 800,000 years.

Further, when carbon dioxide changed there was always an accompanying climate change. Over the last 200 years human activity has increased carbon dioxide to well outside the natural range," explained Dr Wolff.

Disturbingly, Dr. Wolff said that There's nothing that suggests that the Earth will take care of the increase in carbon dioxide. The ice core suggests that the increase in carbon dioxide will definitely give us a climate change that will be dangerous."

It's just so incredibly sad that now, when Earth needs responsible leadership more than at almost any time in its past, we're stuck with the Bush coup.
