Our current coastlines gone. Bangkok under water. Massive fish declines. More droughts, down pours, and heat waves.

KEY CONCEPTS Carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature go hand in hand. The more CO2 we pump into the atmosphere, the more our planet warms. Once emitted, much CO2 remains in the atmosphere for hundreds to thousands of years, making it a powerful influence on the long-term warming trend.  According to data from NOAA, daily peak CO2 reached just over 421 ppm (parts per million), up from 417 ppm last year at Mauna Loa. It’s not just the record CO2 levels, but also the record pace. The Carbon Skyscr...

The speed at which carbon dioxide is building up in Earth's atmosphere is a critical factor that helps determine the damage that global warming will cause.

New data from NASA, NOAA and Berkeley Earth show Earth's fever continues to escalate
