This information should not be considered an "other controversy", but it is because so many people do not believe in basic science.
What many climate researchers have long sought is a plan to keep levels of carbon dioxide at 350 ppm in the atmosphere, but we've reached a level not seen in millions of years, and it will continue to rise. Instead of working on solutions, we pretend the problem does not exist because of the enormous wealth and influence of the fossil fuel industry. It has corrupted both halls of Congress, while pumping out as much disinformation in the media as it does carbon dioxide.

The best available evidence suggests the amount of the gas in the air has not been this high for at least three million years, before humans evolved, and scientists believe the rise portends large changes in the climate and the level of the sea.
“It symbolizes that so far we have failed miserably in tackling this problem,” said Pieter P. Tans, who runs the monitoring program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that reported the new reading.
Ralph Keeling, who runs another monitoring program at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, said a continuing rise could be catastrophic. “It means we are quickly losing the possibility of keeping the climate below what people thought were possibly tolerable thresholds,” he said.

Well, lets start with you and Al Gore. Get off this forum and your computer! If you are not powering it with solar or wind you have no room to talk. Walk! You have no right to complain, while you drive your car to work with the AC on in the middle of July. Is global warming real? Yes. But science also agrees that even if we stop now, the wheels are already in motion. What I find the most interesting point of all the global warming madness is that those who yell do not change their own lifestyles....but instead advocate others to change theirs.

So what are you thinking we should? The US lowered their CO2 emissions to the lowest levels in twenty years should we go to war with India and China and make them stop?
BTW, this is the coldest year since the early 1970s and the lowest tornado activity in sixty years, not exactly what the man-made global warming alarmists predicted, is it.
