Greenhouse Gas Up to 394 parts per million

Thats up 1.5 parts from a year ago.

Levels peak before Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and may rise some more before plants get to growing, soaking some of it up.

Consumption by people in "developed" countries by goods made primarily in China was considered to be the main culprit.

Locally...

The average temperature has been 2.5 degrees warmer than normal in December, 2.2 degrees warmer than normal in January, and 5.7 degrees warmer than normal so far in February.

During those three months this year, there have been no sub-zero days — a highly unusual occurrence. But in January, there was a 68-degree day that came within 3 degrees of the all-time record high for that month — 71 degrees in 1950.
