Oh this is soooo cool!! This is what I've been looking for! Science! It works!...... Bitches! Hope you all can view it!

World carbon levels in 'dangerous' new territory
Date
May 12, 2013
The planet has passed a significant - and unwelcome - milestone, with the concentration of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere exceeding 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in human history.
While the 400ppm mark was reached at some measuring sites last year, on Thursday the daily average topped the mark at the official site at Hawaii's Mauna Loa station.
''Humanity has never been here before,'' John Connor, chief executive of the Climate Institute, said in a statement. ''We are in dangerous and uncharted territory, with little time to ensure a safe and sustainable future.''
A report on the website of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the concentration of carbon dioxide had increased each year since the Mauna Loa site began tracking the greenhouse gas in 1958. In the late 1950s, the yearly increase of the gas was 0.7 ppm. It has since tripled, to 2.1 ppm a year during the past decade, the NOAA said. ''The evidence is conclusive that the strong growth of global CO2 emissions from the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas is driving the acceleration,'' said NOAA senior scientist Pieter Tans, according to the website.

Have to agree with Nony that it is very difficult for your average punter to get their head around the publicly available information let alone the science. Hope the above may be of some help.
Still not panicking just yet...watch the video (hope it works for the Northern Hemisphere)
