This is Columbia University's website. Columbia has an option to buy and manages the Biosphere. I have done a cursory examination of this site and throw it out to you for your use. I am not afraid that it may be in opposition to my views. My arguments will prevail (not because they are my arguments, but because it is God's plan. We are not trees). The Biosphere is amazing, much more than a glass ball. Very nice pictures at this site, but beware. My first impression is this is all pap, propaganda from the elitist eastern "intellectual" establishment. While referencing the previous problems at the Biosphere, Columbia casually, using some newspaper articles (click on the "Press Releases" tab and look especially at the ones by Lee Dye (another Science Lie. What do you expect from ABC News?), "Biosphere 2 a Joke No Longer," and Ann Denogean, "Its lessons learned, Biosphere 2 seeks niche as teaching center." I will eventually have to tear both of these to pieces. Why don't you have a go at it first?), dismisses the previous problems as nothing more than lack of credentials and and unscientific behavior, even demonizing the participants as members of a cult, so the real problem can be dismissed.
The whole carbon dioxide lie will be exposed eventually as one of the (if not the) greatest failures of our institutions, and the lessons of Biosphere 2 are going to help in that revelation. Really, it is more than that. They didn't just fail us, they have actively betrayed us. And, that is even worse, my friends, much worse.
Isn't this "their" oracle? Where the increased readings mania started? Well, here it is. Be suspicious. Is Mauna Loa still an active volcano? Is there "outgassing" of CO2 from Mauna Loa that would make the readings higher than "atmospheric levels" (whatever that means) should read? What is the altitude where the sensor is located? (June 2000: Re-reading parts of Dixy Lee Ray's Trashing the Planet, I learned that Mauna Loa is some 3,500 meters tall (over 10,000 feet. See page 54). I had no idea that it was anywhere near that big. That is up there. What does it imply for any measurements)?
When I looked at the Mauna Loa readings before writing this, they were about 370 ppm. The outdoor level where I used to live in Bellevue, Washington was (April 15, 2000) 573 ppm. (Note: This is not official, and I would like further verification of my own numbers. I was shocked to see it this high. I have not done much work with my tester lately. It is several years old, however, it does seem to behave correctly. The last few mornings in Bellevue have read 593 and 595 ppm, respectively. The early evenings read 545 ppm. This morning after stiff winds overnight, my meter also read 545 ppm). You keep looking up, watching that "atmospheric level," so "they" can sneak in behind you, ok?
