1. Ozone high, heat continues

my asthma is at a stay indoors, avoid hyperventilating upon hearing confirmation of fears. What can we do?

[Ilsa]

2. I remember several years ago when

they announced that 400 was around the corner and was possibly a point of no return. Now we've hit 410+.

3. 2ppm annually for the past decade, no sign of slowing down

Even with all the wind and solar we've deployed, we're not even close to reversing the trend.

500 ppm in my lifetime is a distinct possibility.

4. Amazing. After all that wind and solar...

...and the most amazing thing is that all the wind and solar will need to be replaced within less than 30 years.

It could be that it doesn't work, couldn't it?

Imagine too, if we hadn't built all those nuclear reactors in the 1960's and 1970's. According to Jim Hansen we'd be another full year further down this road, since he calculated 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide dumping avoided.

Of course, the price we paid is that Fukushima wiped out Japan and Chernobyl wiped out Eastern Europe, at least according to some of the rhetoric I hear.
