CO2 Now

 

What the world needs to watch

Global warming is mainly the result of CO2 levels rising in the Earth’s atmosphere. Both atmospheric CO2 and climate change are accelerating. Climate scientists say we have years, not decades, to stabilize CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

To help the world succeed, CO2Now.org makes it easy to see the most current CO2 level and what it means. So, use this site and keep an eye on CO2.  Invite others to do the same. Then we can do more to send CO2 in the right direction.

Watch CO2 now and know the score on global warming, practically in real time.

When carbon fossil fuels are extracted from the Earth’s crust and burned for energy, the emitted carbon dioxide is not visible.  That makes it hard to see and know how the use of fossil fuel adds up to serious global impacts like sea level rise, increased famine and species extinction.  The Carbon Impact Map is a climate literacy tool from CO2Now.org that traces the progression of carbon from its extraction and use to impacts on the planet and civilization to planetary feedbacks.   It presents an overall picture insix major steps.  The Carbon Impact Map is not an exhaustive list of the factors.
