Hold Rejoicing About Falling CO2

Hold Rejoicing About Falling CO2

Michael Lemonick, Climate Central
Remember global warming? You know, that worldwide disaster we were all so worried about way back in 2011? It wasn’t an unreasonable fear, of course: the world has been pumping greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide, or CO2) into the atmosphere like there was no tomorrow. Greenhouse gases trap heat. Ergo, said both the theory and the evidence, global temperatures are heading upward, forcing ice to melt, sea level to rise, and extreme weather to come along more often.http://www.climatecentral.org/blogs/good-news-about-global-warming-until-you-read-the-fine-print-14832/
