"Plus 100" has a double meaning. First, atmospheric CO2 has risen by more than 100 parts per million since the start of the industrial revolution. Second, this "plus 100 media" list gives you more than 100 media stories from around the world that were published within the last month.
Each media has a connection with the chemical changes that are happening in the atmosphere. Together, they are a reminder of the scale of the challenge.
