GreenHouse Gasses: Record Amount in the Atmosphere. Time is against us

'Heat-trapping gases from human activities have upset the natural balance of our atmosphere and are a major contribution to climate change.'

[O]n the global scale, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reached 393.1 parts per million in 2012, or 141% of the pre-industrial level of 278 parts per million. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increased 2.2 parts per million from 2011 to 2012, which is above the average 2.02 parts per million per year for the past 10 years, showing an accelerating trend.
"Our climate is changing, our weather is more extreme, ice sheets and glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising,” adds Mr. Jarraud. “Limiting climate change will require large and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. We need to act now, otherwise we will jeopardize the future of our children, grandchildren and many future generations.”
