Pollution Soaring to Crisis Levels in Arctic
Scientists plead for action to save poles from
'tipping point' disaster
by Robin McKie

Researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that
indicates Earth's most vulnerable regions - the
North and South Poles - are poised on the brink of
a climatic disaster.

The scientists, at an atmospheric monitoring
station in the Norwegian territory of Svalbard,
have found that levels of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere near the North Pole are now rising at an
unprecedented pace.

In 1990 this key cause of global warming was rising
at a rate of 1 part per million (ppm). Recently,
that rate reached 2 ppm per year. Now, scientists
at the Mount Zeppelin monitoring station have
discovered it is rising at between 2.5 and 3 ppm.
......
In the last two decades, carbon dioxide levels in
the atmosphere have risen from 350 to 380 ppm and
scientists warn that once levels reach 500, there
could be irreversible consequences that would tip
the planet toward disaster: glacier melts
triggering devastating sea-level rises and
spreading deserts across Africa and Asia.

This is the most serious issue facing the world - not Iraq, not terrorism, but the state of our climate. Greenland & Antarctica are melting. Combined, they hold enough water to raise sea levels by 80 feet.

There is only one national politician in the US who really understands this. Al Gore. Scientists are generally stating 10 years is the limit for real action on CO2 levels.
