We all know what the atmospheric CO2 levels are at Mauna Loa Hawaii, it's the one chart that everybody uses and on which all dire predictions are based, but I have always wondered what CO2 levels are in Minnesota. Well, next week I am going to find out because today I purchased a CO2 meter from CO2 meter.com. It's the USB CO2 Probe Data Logger K-30 model.
If you go to the Mauna Loa Website they do measure CO2 levels around the world but not anywhere in Minnesota.
I wonder why this is? Could it be that in Minnesota during the height of our growing season that there is enough plant growth to absorb all of that nasty CO2 and it actually drops below 350ppm? I don't know but next week we will all find out.
This is ridiculous. Your data will be no good unless you get a global warming scientist to massage the data. They are experts who know how to do this. Many of them have spent millions of dollars of government grants studying global warming and only they know how to find it and prove it. Maybe if you applied for a government grant you could become a respected member of the global warming community instead of a Minnesotan. Then we would be allowed to believe you.
I wish I knew how to get a government grant. I am having troubles calibrating the meter. My preliminary findings are around 366 ppm but that's assuming atmospheric C02 is 4oo ppm. Still working on it.
