GHGs Higher Than Worst Case Scenario

“Associated Press reports worldwide greenhouse gases jumped higher than it ever had from 2009 to 2010, surpassing a worst-case scenario predicted four years ago. Citing new figures from the U.S. Department of Energy, AP science writer Seth Borenstein notes the level of carbon dioxide, which traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere, had shot up by six percent in 2010 from 2009 — an increase of 564 million tons.

‘From an emissions standpoint, the global financial crisis seems to be over,’ Tom Boden, director Energy Department’s Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.”

Wow.
