Dr. Paul Fraser of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) explains how he and his team monitor atmospheric CO2 concentrations globally. Beginning in 1974, CSIRO was one of the first non-American organization to measure CO2 in the atmosphere.
Dr. Fraser explains how scientists isolate isotopes in carbon to determine its source, whether from the natural biosphere or from human emissions of fossil fuels.

Patented Carbon Technology and Champion Tree Genetics Combined for Earth Restoration
February 17, 2014
Planetary Emissions Management, Inc. and non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive announce an experimental partnership to test new patented systems to integrate unique carbon measuring and environmental financial products with genetics of the largest trees on Earth. Designed for replication on forest projects anywhere on the planet through a Forest Carbon Legacy Initiative, the first test of this unique technology combination will be at Ocean Mountain Ranch in Port Orford, OR, where the world’s first champion coast redwood and giant sequoia clone grove was successfully planted in December of 2012…. http://www.ancienttreearchive.org/partnership-announced-to-reverse-deforestation-and-global-warming/
