New Earth Rising as Ecological Internet Declared Greenwash Free Zone
Are you committed to deep eco-truth telling and sufficient transformative solutions? Then write with us.
Ecological Internet is looking for guest bloggers for our leading environmental portals sites including ClimateArk, Forests.org and EcoEarth.Info; and essayists for our soon to be launched "New Earth Rising" e-zine. Don't bother to reply if like WWF and RAN you think logging ancient forests somehow saves them, if like TreeHugger your focus is upon making over-consumption cool, or if like Grist you think being cuttingly sardonic matters. Help us spread the written word -- the Earth is gravely ill and only profound, revolutionary personal and social action can save us now. Contact us to write for Ecological Internet and share your truth regarding the depth of the global ecological crisis and what must be done to save being.

Climate Ark: Global atmospheric concentration of CO2
7. Atmospheric CO2 has increased from a pre-industrial concentration of about 280 ppmv to about 367 ppmv at present (ppmv= parts per million by volume). CO2 concentration data from before 1958 are from ice core measurements taken in Antarctica and from 1958 onwards are from the Mauna Loa measurement site. The smooth curve is based on a hundred year running mean. It is evident that the rapid increase in CO2 concentrations has been occurring since the onset of industrialization. The increase has closely followed the increase in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.
