CO2 Concentrations Hit New High Last Year
The concentrations of carbon dioxide hit a record high last year. the concentration grew significantly more than the average this decade. Greenhouse gas bulletin concentrations were 393.1 parts per million in 2012. This is causing the weather to change and ice glaciers to melt making water rise. In 2011 the concentration level rose 9% but in 2012 it was the first time scientist measured levels over 400 ppm (parts per million). The research also found that greenhouse gasses aren't the only gas rising methane also hit record of 1,819 parts per billion. Nitrous oxide also hit a record of 325.1 parts per billion. The government pledged that they will keep temperatures from rising 2 degrees celsius. Scientist say they are failing to act quickly. Scientist say that in order to do this we must emit less than 1,000 gigatons of carbon dioxide
After reading this article i thought that we need to emit less carbon dioxide in the air because the level of concentration are rising a lot too fast. We should see how right now china is being affected by the amount of carbon dioxide and change what we do. I also think that we need to act quick because it is getting worse every minute.
