Parking place for my climatology posts
I find myself frequently copying & pasting the same basic climatology links, so I'm preparing a parking lot here where I can have a bunch of them available. Nothing much to see here right now, sorry!

Current average atmospheric CO2 levels: 417.2 parts per million.
That's about 50% higher than pre-industrial levels.
In 1990, average CO2 levels were about 355 ppm.

Actually, the Paris Accords set a limit on temperature rise. The Accords agree to limit global temperature rise this century at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
For large industrial countries like the US, that means cutting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to about 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.
In 2005, US CO2 emissions were 19.5 metric tons per capita. In 2021 we emitted 14.24 metric tons per capita That means the US is more than half way to the Paris Accords emission level.
Lemme repeat that - the US CO2 emissions cuts are already more than half way to the Paris Accords levels!
We are on track, and the dire economic predictions of the anti-environemental extremists are proven false.
Can the proponents of this ... tell us the % of CO2 in the atmosphere and let us know what % they want it at
