A West Wildwood spouter recently made the claim global CO2 level

Dennisville - A West Wildwood spouter recently made the claim global CO2 levels have increased a "whopping 1 percent" since the start of the fossil fuel age. If he checked the science, he would have easily seen 280 ppm is the accepted level of 150 years ago. At a remote point on top of Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the level is checked daily. It is nearing 420 ppm, which would be 50 times higher than 1 percent. It is this kind of misinformation that is getting us nowhere in solving the problem.
