?Why is this news? 2007 was a 649,999 year high. 2006 was a 649,998 year high. 2005 was a... not to mention that the EPICA core goes back futher. And anyway we know its on a 40Myr high. -W. > According to the Earth System Research Laboratory of the > US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, the 2008 > yearly mean CO2 concentration measured at Mauna Loa was > 385.45 ppmv.
