* Arctic Sea Ice Extent Tracking Close to 2007 Record-Lows
According to data collected by the National Snow and Ice Data Center of Boulder, Colorado, the area covered by ice in the Arctic early this summer is once again near the record-low levels that occurred in 2007.
Earlier in June, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a record-high measurement of atmospheric CO2 concentration of 390.18 parts per million. This is up from 370 ppm in 2001 when George W. Bush assumed office and from 333 ppm in 1977 when Jimmy Carter became President.
