CO2 Speakers' Corner Makes Atmospheric CO2 Data Accessible

Article by Leslie Berliant  |  April 24, 2009

Atmospheric greenhouse gases are a bit of an abstraction.  We can't see them, we can't smell them, and we can't immediately tell when there is a change in concentration. 

The site CO2Now is trying to change that by showing current data for atmospheric CO2 and helping people understand the relationship between current trends of rising CO2 levels and the effects of climate change. “The site puts atmospheric CO2 out in front where it needs to be,” says website founder Michael McGee. “It’s a simple thing that no other website is doing.

CO2Now.org is listed as "Current CO2 Levels" in the Green Science & Technology directory at the Earth & Economy website.   The original listing date is October 27, 2010.  

One of Canada's oldest newspapers, the Nelson Daily News, is the world's first to put regular bulletins for atmospheric CO2 into print.   CO2-oriented climate bulletins are produced by CO2Now.org.   Read all about it in the January 26, 2010 edition of the Nelson Daily News:

Spread The Widget Word

On June 20, 2008, SolveClimate News was one of the first media outlet to feature a website widget to display atmospheric CO2 levels.  This was before CO2Now.org was created, and Earth's CO2 Home Page was hosted from themostimportantnumber.org.   (The site and widgets moved to CO2Now.org early in September 2008.)  These days, the CO2Now widgets are displayed millions of time each month on computer screens around the world.   

A half-page review of CO2Now.org is found in The Sustainability Web, an article published in the October 2010 edition of Sustainability: The Journal of Record,   An excerpt appears below: 

Knowing that most people don't get past the home page, all the pertinent information is posted right there in simple, matter-of-fact language.

Many hundreds of websites, with content in more than a dozen languages, use a free CO2Now website widget to raise the profile of atmospheric CO2 levels worldwide. 

Atmospheric CO2 is the heart of our biggest problems: global warming, climate change and ocean acidification.  Getting atmospheric CO2 to safe and sustainable levels (less than 350 parts per million) is key to solve these problems.   These global numbers should be seen and talked about far and wide.  If you have a website or a blog, CO2Now.org has more than two dozen widgets you can choose from.
