The heat is on

I wished to talk something about the Atmospheric CO2 widget that we have put on the site. It is just to keep reminding us of how much change we are making to the environment and far we are going away from the actual composition that 'God' had created.

We being the most dominant species of the Earth are bound to have some impact on it. We are the most powerful and can control various things (but of course not nature, it will always fight back). But sometimes this power gets on our head and we forget our responsibilities. Remember the movie Spiderman and the famous dialogue 'with great power comes great responsibility'. So, just to remind what our great power is doing and what great responsibility we have at our hands, we have added this widget.

It shows the changing CO2 concentration for last few years and the trend currently is invariably a rising one. The data has been feeding into this widget comes from very credible sources like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOOA), USA and Mauna Lao Observatory (from where the Keeling curve originated; we will tell you about it in later posts).

So, just keep an eye on the CO2.
