The rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has passed a symbolic threshold early due to the fastest annual increase on record
The human-caused rise in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is being given an extra boost this year by the natural climate phenomena of El Niño, say climate scientists in a paper published in yesterday's edition of the journal Nature Climate Change.

Businesses in Devon have the opportunity to bid for a new round of grant funding to help them reach new customers and clients, following the initial success of the scheme earlier this year.
Devon County Council launched the Business Promotion Grant in February as part of its Devon Delivers programme, which aims to highlight the benefits of locating a business in the county.
Grants of up to £1,000 were awarded to 12 Devon companies earlier this year to promote their goods or services to national and international trade audiences.
Business is booming at Exeter's resurgent Quayside with local traders reporting good times at the tills, as more and more events are held at the city attraction.
With only six months of the year gone , the popular location has already hosted 77 events. In 2015, 81 events were held at the Quay and in 2014 the figure was 50, meaning 2016 is set smash previous records.
Among the events taking place this summer are regattas, raft and dragon boat races on the water, Jazz on the Quay, Exeter Street Food Markets and many more.
Great news for everyone who missed out on tickets for this summer’s Radio One Big Weekend, and for those who want to see one of the highlights of that weekend at Powderham Castle again: Chase & Status are confirmed as special guests for Saturday night.
Lockdown, the South‐West’s biggest dance music festival, will take place in the grounds of the magnificent Powderham Castle, Exeter on the weekend of 9-11 September 2016.
This event was previously advertised as Bassline Festival, but has been rebranded to avoid confusion with another event of the same name.
