Cape Grim is among the remotest locations in Tasmania and is located at the most north-west point. It has one of the cleanest air on the planet and this is the reason it is the most important air measuring station in the southern hemisphere.

The research station in Cape Grim is located on the cliffs that overlook the Southern Ocean and regularly keeps recording the precise amount of Earth's changing atmosphere.

In the last 12 months, scientists have found that two dangerous greenhouse gases are increasing rapidly. A researcher form CSIRO confirms that he is coming to the station since it was started in 1976 and he stresses that in the last 30 years, carbon dioxide levels have increased by 15%.

He points that almost all the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is caused due to fossil fuels which is completely man-made. Almost 40 different types of green house gases are monitored at the Cape Grim station.

The two gases which are rapidly increasing are nitrogen trifluoride which is used for manufacturing plasma televisions and sulphuryl fluoride which is a fumigant used on crops.

Researchers claim that these gases are potentially capable of generating green house impact. These gases are increasing around 5 to 10% every year.

Every day, scientists measure Australia's greenhouse gases and feed the data into a global database monitoring the Earth's changing atmosphere.
