The Rio 92 CO2 widget takes its name from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, a hopeful and key event in the history of humanity's response to the problems of global warming and climate change. This is also the point when countries started to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Did you know that atmospheric CO2 was 364 parts per million (ppm) during the Earth Summit in June 1992? In the past decade, atmospheric CO2 has been rising about 1.9 ppm per year. This is the fastest rate since scientists started using high-precision instruments to take CO2 measurements directly from the Earth's atmosphere.
Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are at the heart of humanity's most significant sustainability problems. Changing this trend is key to ending global warming, climate change and ocean acidification. Use this rounded, 92 x 92 widget on your website to raise the profile of the world's most current data for atmospheric CO2. Let it be known that more needs to be done to make planet Earth a safe and stable place for raising a civilization.
Adding a widget is easy. Simple instructions and code for the Rio 92 widget are provided below.

Advancing the CO2 Widget Program
Since 2008, CO2Now.org has provided and maintained a series of 'atmospheic CO2' widgets that are ready-to-use and easy to add to any website. The widgets are 100% free. They are hosted at a highly-secure data center that is powered directly by solar panels. And, CO2Now.org pays the bill for the bandwidth costs . . . even for CO2 widgets used on business and government websites.
Atmospheric CO2 data is objective information and important enough to show to anyone with an interest in the well-being of the planet. We are asking people and organizations to spread the word about these widgets. (You may know one or two people you could talk to about using a widget to put CO2 information on public display.)
We are also inviting financial contributions to help sustain and enhance this growing CO2 widget initiative. Of course, contributions are voluntary. They also make a real difference. Whether or not you (or your organization) use a widget, support can be given at the CO2Now financial contributions page. And, whether or not you make a financial contribution, we hope you are able to use a widget.
