Yes, that title is a direct quote from this BBC article online.  It’s beyond frightening.  The greenhouse gas  needle is  way past the red dial danger zone.  And no one in the media during this election campaign  is talking about it.  Because, horse races are easier to cover, I guess.  Meanwhile planet earth is not waiting around for our media and political elites to take notice of the world of sh*t that we are mucking around in as I write these words.

Measurements at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii went up by more than three parts per million(ppm) in 2015.

Scientists say the spike is due to a combination of human activities and the El Niño weather pattern.

Put another way, this represents an explosion in the growth of CO2 in our atmosphere.
