en current inaction carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere could quite feasibly top 500ppm and keep going dragging global temperatures ever higher i hope to god that it never happens but it is worth keeping in mind that burning most fossil fuel reserves is projected to lead ultimately to a global average temperature rise of a staggering 16 c this would bring the mean temperature of our world to a furnace like 30 c this would likely to all intents and purposes be an extinction level event as far as the human race is concerned some might say quite justifiably in view of our appallingly bad stewardship of the planet good riddance too bill mcguire is professor emeritus of geophysical climate hazards at ucl and author of waking the giant how a changing climate triggers

the shadow climate change minister mark butler has issued a stark warning before the coming election campaign declaring the australian parliament must end the stalemate and back labor s climate policy in the event of a bill shorten victory or politicians will betray the next generation in an interview with guardian australia s political podcast butler says labor s commitment to reduce emissions by 45 on 2005 levels by 2030 is a rock solid commitment not an aspiration or something that would be nice to achieve and he says voters are more agitated now about climate action than he has ever seen during his time as an mp butler says the morrison government is lining up to deploy tired old scare campaigns about carbon taxes in the coming campaign with scott morrison this week characterising the measures this week as a borat tax but what i see as i get around the country after a very angry summer the hottest summer we have ever had is australians are sick of it read on www theguardian com

global co2 levels in the weather forecast the guardian auspol should be on all weather reports stopadani climatestrike scinate climatechange climateelection as co2 levels climb the carbon count is a daily reminder we must tackle climate change now by damian carrington the mauna loa weather observatory in hawaii the guardian will publish the mauna loa carbon count every day photograph courtesy of noaa the simplest measure of how the mass burning of fossil fuels is disrupting the stable climate in which human civilisation developed is the number of carbon dioxide molecules in the atmosphere today the co2 level is the highest it has been for several million years back then temperatures were 3 4c hotter sea level was 15 20 metres higher and trees grew at the south pole worse billions of tonnes of carbon pollution continues to pour into the air every year and at a rate 10 times faster than for 66m years at the dawn of the industrial revolution co2 was at 280 parts per million ppm in the atmosphere by 1958 when the first measurements were made at mauna loa in hawaii it had reached 315ppm it raced past 350ppm in 1986 and 400ppm in 2013 the guardian will now publish the mauna loa carbon count the global benchmark on the weather page of the paper every day when i read the letter from guardian reader daniel scharf encouraging us to include information on climate change in our weather forecasts we thought it was a fantastic idea said the guardian s editor in chief katharine viner levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically and including a measure of that in our daily weather report is symbolic of what human activity is doing to our climate people need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem we need to tackle it now and every day matters while weather changes daily climate changes over years and decades so alongside the daily carbon count we will publish the level in previous years for comparison as well as the pre industrial baseline of 280ppm and the level seen as manageable in the long term of 350ppm year on year comparisons are important because each year there is a natural rise and fall of co2 levels rather like the planet breathing trees and plants absorb carbon and release oxygen as they grow lowering atmospheric co2 as most plants are in the northern hemisphere co2 reaches its lowest level each year at the end of the growing season in october then it begins to rise as dying plants decay reaching a peak in may or june while the co2 level is an important and symbolic measure of the global warming caused by humanity it is a simple one the increases in temperature the world experiences and the heatwaves storms and droughts that strike also depend on how fast emissions rise or fall and how long they remain at high levels the 350ppm level was proposed in 2008 by nasa s prof james hansen as a suitable target read on www theguardian com environment 2019 apr 05 why the guardian is putting global

about how a decision like this should be made he said it is important that it not be rushed or made under political pressure it s concerning that another minister minister canavan is trying to put

sacrificed on the altar of thermal coal exports said oliver yates independent candidate for kooyong former environment minister and now treasurer josh frydenberg has been part of a government that s seen emissions rise every year and was the minister responsible for giving millions of dollars to a fossil fuel backed reef group without a competitive tender australia s governments have determined that thermal coal exports which are the leading cause of global warming will decimate the great barrier reef reports have shown that the great barrier reef is struggling to recover from successive years of bleaching caused by global warming and warming oceans both major political parties who understand the threats to the reef from coal pollution continue to back the adani coal mine and triggering the destruction of the great barrier reef however it is the liberal party who have championed the mining and burning of thermal coal and shown callous disregard for the protection of one of australia s most valuable environmental assets the intergovernmental panel on climate change special report on the impact of global warming of 1 5 c above pre industrial levels found coral reefs were likely to decline between 70 and 90 if global warming reaches 2 c more than 99 of coral reefs were projected to decline according to science the only hope for the reef is to dramatically cut carbon pollution and move to renewable energy the reef which is one of the natural wonders of the world also supports a 6 billion tourism industry and 64 000 jobs oliver yates said i want my kids and their kids to see the great barrier reef this government has no right to destroy one of the natural wonders of the world the only way that is going to happen is if we immediately start reducing the carbon

along the great barrier reef to quantify coral recruitment after the devastating back to back mass bleaching event in 2016 2017 credit arc coe for coral reef studies gergely torda rising sea temperatures have wrecked the great barrier reef s ability to regrow researchers said wednesday highlighting for the first time a 90 percent fall in new corals since back to back heatwaves bleached the world heritage site following the unprecedented loss of swathes of the reef the world s largest living structure in successive ocean heatwaves in 2016 and 2017 the number of new corals measured a year later was found by a team of scientists to be 89 percent lower than historical levels coral reefs make up less than one percent of earth s marine environment but are home to an estimated 25 percent of ocean life acting as nurseries for many species of fish and a habitat for birds sharks dolphins and porpoises the study measured how many adult corals survived along the 2 300 kilometre 1 400 mile reef off the northeast coast of australia following consecutive summers of unusually warm seas that bleached and killed off numerous coral species it discovered a crash in coral replacement compared to levels measured in years before a mass bleaching event the population of one species acropora a branching coral that supports thousands of marine species tumbled by 93 percent we never thought we would see disturbance on a scale to affect recruitment to this extent said andrew baird co author of the study that appeared in the journal nature the team estimated that it would take between five and 10 years for the reef s production of baby corals to fully recover but only if there isn t another bleaching event map and factfile on australia s great barrier reef atmospheric temperatures have risen by around one degree celsius 1 8 fahrenheit since the middle of last century and coral is uniquely sensitive to fluctuating heat levels last year an expert panel of international climate experts warned that coral structures including the great barrier reef would most likely not survive a 2c rise too big to fail until now bleaching occurs when warmer ambient temperatures cause coral to expel tiny photosynthetic algae draining them of their colour the great barrier reef has experienced four mass bleaching events in recorded history all within the last two decades dead corals don t make babies said terry hughes director of the arc centre of excellence for coral reef studies at australia s james cook university read on m phys org news 2019 04 global
