Good suggestions / paper. The long term range for atmospheric CO2 (800,000 years +) is 180 to 300 parts per million (ppm). According to James Hansen, Head of the NASA Goddard Institute, in an April 2008 paper, we passed the ceiling for safe CO2 in 1988 when CO2 surpassed 350 ppm. Glad you like the tool. Further improvements will be made as time goes on. Be sure to check out http://co2now.orgRegcline on Sep 25, 2008 Sign in to report as inappropriate
I think this is a great tool. Suggestion: For a point of referenece...if you can add text that explains published research has shown a level considered dangerous is 450 ppb and pre-industrial levels were at 280 ppb. See http://www.eponline.com/articles/67730?recipid%3B= Also, when I click on "Click CO2 Now" the page doesn't scroll. I think there an option in the settings to allow for this.
