Measurements of CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory reached the highest ever recorded last week: 403.96 ppm. CO2 levels continue to increase, as do temperatures around the planet:
On the week beginning July 17, 2016, the Mauna Loa Observatory measured an average atmospheric CO#8322; level of 403.39 parts per million. A year ago this week, CO#8322; levels stood at 400.96 ppm. This week in 2006, the Observatory measured levels at 381.77 ppm.
Thermometers in both Iraq and Kuwait recorded land temperatures of roughly 54 degrees Celsius (129 degrees Fahrenheit) last week. If confirmed, it would be ... the hottest land temperature ever recorded on Earth.
June 2016 was the hottest June ever recorded.

The word disaster comes from the Latin compound of dis-, or away, without, and astro, star or planet; literally, without a star. -Rebecca Solnit (so not building the TMT would literally be a disaster, based on the word's derivation)
