Floods and extreme weather phenomena such as cyclones and typhoons will also increase, fires will be even more frequent, and it is "only" 2 degrees Celsius more (this is however the "worst case scenario").

The human race has just broken a new record in its great race towards ecological collapse: CO2 in the atmosphere has just passed 415 parts per million - this is the first time in human history that this limit has been exceeded.

According to the sensors of the Mauna Loa Observatory, an Arctic ice measurement outpost of the US National Atmospheric and Oceanic Agency, carbon dioxide reached 415.26 parts per million.

The terrible milestone was re-launched on Twitter by climatologist Eric Hothaus:

This is the first time in human history our planet's atmosphere has had more than 415ppm CO2.

Not just in recorded history, not just since the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Since before modern humans existed millions of years ago.

We don't know a planet like this. https://t.co/azVukskDWr

While the difference in itself may seem insignificant (and it shouldn't), it is another sign that humanity is pushing the boundaries: just a week ago a report indicated how the extinction of 1 million species was directly caused by human activity.

The increase in the presence of carbon dioxide is a very important datum, due to the properties that this acid oxide has to retain heat: the whole ecosystem increases in temperature as the concentration of CO2 increases.

And that's not the only thing: floods and extreme weather phenomena such as cyclones and typhoons will also increase, fires will be even more frequent, and it is “only” 2 degrees higher (however this is the “least worst” scenario).

Any increase of 3 or 4 degrees would lead us to an Earth in which many areas are unsuitable for life.
