Carbon Emissions Show Biggest Jump Ever Recorded

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/05/sc...udy-finds.html

"Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released
Sunday by the Global Carbon Project, an international collaboration of
scientists tracking the numbers. Scientists with the group said the
increase, a half-billion extra tons of carbon pumped into the air, was
almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the
Industrial Revolution, and the largest percentage increase since 2003.

"The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that scientists
fear will make it difficult, if not impossible, to forestall severe
climate change in coming decades".


With China and others growing at some 10% a year, half the
planet yet to reach the industrial.age, and as oil and natural gas
keeps going up in price, guess what the energy of choice
will soon become....that's right....COAL.
