worth reposting The climate deniers are circulating a myth that the global warming has leveled off for the past 15 years, The truth is that it is changing at faster than expected rates with 2013 being one of the top 5 hottest years on record (yes even in spite of the american cold spell during the winter-- GLOBAL warming folks. the south of the equator was having record hot summer when america was getting a polar draft.) Hawaii hit 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in 2013. The worldwide average reached 395.3 ppm, a 2.8 ppm increase from 2012, NOAA reports. (Parts per million denotes the volume of a gas in the air; in this case, for every 1 million air molecules, 400 are carbon dioxide.) [In Images: Extreme Weather Around the World] The major greenhouse gases all reached new record high values in 2013, said Jessica Blunden, a climate scientist with ERT, Inc., and a NOAA contractor who helped write the report. ---- livescience/46852-climate-records-fell-in-2013.html
