More data on CO2 in the atmosphere
March 13, 2006 8:19 PM

We now have this story just out that says,

US climate scientists have recorded a significant rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, pushing it to a new record level. The research indicates that 2005 saw one of the largest increases on record of CO2. The UK government's chief scientific adviser, Professor Sir David King, said the new data highlighted the importance of taking urgent action to limit carbon emissions. "Today we're over 380 ppm," he said. "That's higher than we've been for over a million years, possibly 30 million years. Mankind is changing the climate".

ummm...are we getting close to a "tipping point?"
