CO2 Now

CO2Now.org displays the current concentration of atmospheric CO2 as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.  Measurements are taken with high precision instruments at a remote location where CO2 is well mixed in the atmosphere, more than two miles above sea level. 

CO2 widgets don't get smaller than this. We call it the "Nano 60" because it is just 60 pixels wide and 60 pixels high.

This little wonder lets you add the latest data for atmospheric CO2 to the tightest spots on your website or blog. Place it discretely on one of your pages, or plaster it everywhere. You decide.

It is easy to display the "Nano 60" widget to a website. Simple instructions and html code are provided below.

The Rio 92 widget is named for the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, a hopeful and key event in the history of the world response to the problems of global warming and climate change .  This rounded widget is 92 x 92 pixels.   It is as simple as the Nano 60, and almost as small and discrete.   It is easy to find a good spot for a Rio 92 on most any web page or blog.   Think about adding a Rio 92 to some pages on your site.

 The Charney 130 is larger with more information that is helpful for people who are not already familiar with current CO2 levels. It is still small enough to be used at a number of locations on a site or blog.

This widget is named after Jule Charney, the distinguished MIT meteorologist who led a nine-member Ad Hoc Group of Carbon Dioxide and Climate. This group was appointed by US President Jimmy Carter in 1979. After meeting for five days at the National Academy of Science's summer study center, in Woods Hole, Massachussetts, the group affirmed, "If carbon dioxide continues to increase, the study group finds no reason to doubt that climate change will result and no reason to believe that these changes will be negligible."

CO2Now.org is one of the Pro Oxygen websites that is being set up to help make the atmosphere a better space...and  ultimately solve global warming.  The Pro Oxygen 300 widget is displayed on every page of this website.  When you add this widget to your site or blog, the latest update will appear on your site the second it shows up on ours. 

The widgets from CO2Now.org are updated simultaneously--shortly after the latest CO2 measurements is made public from the Mauna Loa Observatory.  With one of these widgets, your site can get the CO2 update almost as soon as the changes can be recorded by scientists.  Cool eh?  Except, of course, that the rise of CO2 and a few other greenhouse gases is the trend that drives ocean acidification, global warming and climate change. 

This widget is 300 pixels wide X 201 pixels high.  Here is the way the widget can be added to your site... 

The Brundtland 600 widget is named in honour of Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway.  She now serves as a Special Envoy on Climate Change for the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. 

Keep reading for more information about Gro Harlem Brundtland and instructions for installing the Brundtland CO2 widget at your website or blog.

 If you were to design a CO2 widget, what would it look like?   Would you want to create a designer widget for anyone to use?  Or, something unique for your own use and distribution?
