Earth's atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 in millions of years

Earth's atmosphere now has more carbon dioxide in it than it has in millions - and possibly tens of millions - of years, according to data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and scientists at the University of California San Diego. For the first time, global average concentrations of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, exceeded 430 parts per million (ppm) in May.

Former National Weather Service directors push back against cuts

1 month ago | nbcnews.com | Evan Bush |Chase Cain

Five former directors of the National Weather Service are warning that additional cuts to the agency’s staffing could lead to unnecessary deaths during severe weather such as tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes. “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life. We know that’s a nightmare shared by those on the forecasting front lines—and by the people who depend on their efforts,” they wrote in an open letter published Friday.
Amid federal research cuts, some Antarctic tourist cruises are sponsoring scientists

During Antarctica’s warm season, the sleek Norwegian passenger ship known as the MS Fridtjof Nansendeparts regularly from Argentina for its journey south across the turbulent Drake Passage, down to the Antarctic Peninsula. The cruise carries wealthy adventurers, bucket listers and, increasingly, polar scientists looking to gather data as public funding for Antarctic research vanishes under the Trump administration.
It's raining more in the coldest place on Earth — that's bad for penguins

2 months ago | nbcchicago.com | Chase Cain

Rain in Antarctica isn’t just a sign of climate change. It’s also part of a feedback loop that accelerates global warming. Climate change is bringing a new threat to penguins that live on the Antarctic peninsula on the western side of the continent. It's the second-fastest warming part of the icy landmass, where it already rains an average of 50 days every year. But French scientists project by the end of this century, that will more than triple.
From food supply to weather patterns, here's how changes in Antarctica affects the world

A trip to Antarctica might feel less like crossing the ocean and more like crossing the galaxy, but what happens there impacts the world well beyond the coast — influencing weather patterns and food supply around the globe. National climate reporter Chase Cain traveled to the frozen continent to see just how connected it is to our lives back home. "It's a kind of a magic place," said James Barnes.
Scientists may have underestimated how hot the planet could get. Here's how

2 months ago | nbcchicago.com | Chase Cain

Scientists use computer models to project how hot earth will get as humans burn more oil and gas. But it turns out those models have a bit of a blind-spot: exactly how much of the sun’s energy gets reflected back to space from the snow and ice at our poles. As a result, scientists may have been underestimating global warming. National climate reporter Chase Cain traveled to Antarctica to see how tiny changes in color there can lead to big changes in temperature for the entire planet.
