It is no secret that American drivers are fond of their gas guzzlers. But it may prove tougher than anyone thought to persuade them to switch to greener vehicles.

In the past 100 years, the average temperature of Earth has risen six-tenths of one degree. In the past 100 years, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased about 80 parts per million so that it stands at about 370 parts per million. Sea levels are estimated to have risen 10 to 20 centimeters in the same time frame.

No. Not even by controlling their emissions of CO2. The best they can do is to inform themselves and to act in self-defense according to their best judgment of the situation as they find it, using the most appropriate technological means at hand.

The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is so loaded with carbon dioxide that it can barely absorb any more, so more of the gas will stay in the atmosphere to warm up the planet, scientists reported Thursday.

The Supreme court ordered EPA to rethink its objection to declaring CO2 as a major pollutant. It has declared that CO2 is a major pollutant by a majority of 5-4, with 4 conservative Justices Scalia, Roberts, Thomas and Alito dissenting!

His serious aviation habit means he is hardly the best person to lecture others on the environment. But John Travolta went ahead and did it anyway. The 53-year-old actor, a passionate pilot, encouraged his fans to "do their bit" to tackle global warming.

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations rose from 280-360 ppm over 15 years. Atmospheric CO2 would have to rise as high as 5000 ppm before it posed a threat to humans. CO2 occurs naturally and accounts for 2-4 percent of greenhouse effect. 800 global scientific observations concur a doubling of CO2 from present levels improves plant productivity 32 percent

The project, which adds new meaning to the term "greenhouse gas", is the first in the world. It distributes CO2 from Shell's Pernis refinery outside Rotterdam to 400 greenhouses, saving a large amount of natural gas each year, which is equivalent to 170,000 tonnes of CO2.
