Greenhouse gases reach record levels..

GENEVA
Concentrations of greenhouse gases, the major cause of global warming,
are at their highest levels ever recorded and are still climbing, the
U.N. World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Monday.
The head of the agency, Michel Jarraud, said the trend could be
pushing the world towards the most pessimistic assessments of the rise
in temperatures expected in coming decades and said this underlined
the need for urgent action.
The worst-case scenario envisaged by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change) in a 2007 report was that temperatures could rise
by between 2.4 and 6.4 Celsius by the end of this century.
The Group of Eight and other major economies agreed at a summit in
Italy in July to try to limit the rise to 2 Celsius.
Carbon dioxide <CO2/EUR> is entering the atmosphere at an accelerating
rate, Jarraud told a news conference in Geneva to present the agency's
annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin.
"The CO2 content in the atmosphere rose slightly faster in 2008 than
over the last decade when the growth rate was 1.9 parts per million,"
he said.
"Levels of most greenhouse gases continue to increase," said the WMO,
in the report issued before next month's U.N. climate change
conference in Copenhagen, aimed at reaching a new international accord
to fight global warming.
It said the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 385.2 parts
per million in 2008, up 2 parts per million in one year.
GREENHOUSE GASES AT RECORD
"In 2008 global concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous
oxide, which are the main long-lived greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, reached the highest levels recorded since pre-industrial
times," the WMO said.
The major focus at the Copenhagen summit, from December 7-18, is how
targets for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, caused mainly by burning
fossil fuels like oil and gas, can be agreed and put into a new
international treaty. [ID:nNGEESAL07Q]
Hopes of a legally binding agreement have slipped amid continuing
disagreements between rich and poorer nations over how the burden
should be shared.
Jarraud said the data showed "we are actually closer to the
pessimistic scenario" for warming in the coming years.

You do realize some recent news broke that puts in doubt these types of
reports...right?

And yet the world continues to cool.

You provided no proof to back up your claim because none exists.

•• So what???
Harry Hopeless' provided no proof of anything
except stupidity and ignorance which James
pointed out. Ergo: enema is a silly jackass!!

Yeah, so much cooling that the current decade is the hottest on record.

Try looking up 'begging the question'.

It will continue to climb until conservatives are completely eliminated.

Libturds will be gone first, fucktard,
with all your abortions and your penchant for buggery.

You certainly haven't.
Why do you believe that human activity wouldn't affect climate?
Maximust
He a conservative. He doesn't need a reason to believe his nonsense.
*us*
You're right, of course.
