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.

China is responsible for 23.33% of the emissions, the
U.S. for 18.11%. The European Union arrives at the third
place with 14.04%.

Together they make 55,48% of the emitted CO2.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...xide_emissions

When you look at the tons per capita however, a different picture
emerges:

U.S.: 19.18
China: 4.91

The first country according to per capita emissions is
Australia, with 20.82, then the U.S. then Canada with 17.7

Data:
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming...re-of-co2.html

In both tables, the U.S. is the second.

Obama has made a pact with China to block any progress in the
U.N. clima talks, so the world will go on warming until they
are covered by the rising ocean.

Since only the 99% is affected (the 1% doesn't care at all)
the clima will go on degrading and the 99% will suffer from
the consequences. Big corporations will go on making profits
warming or not.

Yes, quite dirty, bloody, nasty and even lethal and toxic coal will
fuel the next hungry and greedy generations to come, plus negative
energy via liquid synfuels from deep shale, oily sand and coal are
going to more than double each of their energy unit carbon footprints,
to boot.

Remember the Beijing Olympics? Clouds of choking coal emissions
so bad Chinese cities have to put spittoons in the streets to keep
the sidewalks from becoming blackened with spit.

"Twenty-six percent of all deaths in China are from
respiratory disease."

http://books.google.com/books?id=10g...ting& f=false


Our standard of living is some 6 times higher than in China.
What happens when China and other third world nations
begin to catch up? I think the trends for the next 20 or 30
years, when it comes to greenhouse gasses, is rather scary.

My hobby is the non-linear math of Complexity Science
and people should keep in mind the difference between
linear and non-linear change is the difference between
geometric and exponential rates of change.

And the 'tipping point' between those two types
of change is when the rate of change becomes
fast enough to generate 'unintended consequences'.
Such as sudden methane releases for instance.

And once those kinds of events become reality, so
that there is clear 'proof' no one can deny, well
it's too late.

Those unintended consequences are the hallmark
of any panic or impending exponential rates of change.
My stock trading strategy is entirely built around this
phenomena...panics. Since a panic is always an
over reaction, creating the opportunity.

For instance, in the stock market, when the rate
of change of price is high enough, then things like
automated stop loss orders begin kicking in, and
the price swing can quickly cascade out of control
so that everyone that ...can sell...sells.

Like the Big Crash of Oct 08, which sent the entire
world into an economic depression.

And what scares me the most, is that the oil market
can crash just like the stock market did.

A panic is a panic is a panic is a panic.

Every week I watch a 'complex adaptive system'
get pushed to it's own tipping point. I've watched
hundreds of them cycle, I know exactly how they behave
when they're about to break, and just what to look for.

It took just seven business days for the stock market
to totally collapse in a panic. The oil market can go
just the same way. The oil market is almost thin enough
a good rumor could take it down. That's how close
our world is to the abyss today.

A GOOD ****ING RUMOR!

And once the panic begins, no amount of fixes
like a strategic reserve can stop it, in fact the fixes
only adds fuel to the panic. The last two great
stock market crashes came just a couple of days
after their respective ..."Rescue Bills".

When did you first realize our government was corrupted and out of
control?

For myself it was roughly 1966

For myself it was roughly 1966


1982.

However, in 1999 I realized that too little corruption (evil)
is just as bad as too much. Whether socialist or fascist
the tragic endings are the same.

A complex adaptive system/evolution requires the dynamic
balance between the static and chaotic (order and disorder)
[good and evil] to exist at all.

When the components find that balance, then the
whole is at it's greatest potential to produce justice
and a better future.

At least I didn't turn myself into a ZNR approved parrot, brown-nosed

the “Blood Order” that Zionist Jews seem to drool over, as most
certainly you were more than qualified.

If you silly guys and gals think the killings of mostly innocent
humans and the systematic environmental trashing of our Earth, as well
as creating as much global inflation as possible, are just too funny
to not allow or perpetrate, then no doubt anything off-world is going
to become ZNR fair game.

I agree, that what little corruption is left is kind of the cookie
crumbs of the mostly public funded jar, because all the really good
cookies of crime and corruption have already been taken and consumed
by those truly in charge of whomever we elect or appoint.

Perhaps it's past due that we the evil villagers with each of our fist
full of burning sticks take charge, and if need be burn down the
castles of those evil robber barons oppressing and misguiding us.

So, it's kind of evil against evil, and may the best bad guys win, and
of course only the evil victors get to interpret and publish their
version of history.

When I moved to Florida I noticed an example of what you
mean. Schools involve huge sums of money, and down here
many of the 'charter schools', where public school funds are
diverted to private companies, are owned by family and
friends of politicians...insiders. It's just terrible.

An example, there's this Florida state legislator that chairs
most of the state education committees. Turns out his...sister
owns a large chain of charter schools. And they have to pay
some $12 million a year in impact fees to the various municipalities.
So this politician wrote legislation that zeros out each and every
impact fee his sister's company would have to pay. Essentially
a $12 million dollar a year gift to his sister at taxpayer expense.
Of course, everyone knows his sister is the straw man
owner, it's ...his charter school. Or will when he leaves
office.

When the Miami Herald caught him and made a splash about it
he was completely unapologetic. He said there's nothing illegal
at all about writing legislation that enriches his family or friends.

And he's right, the reason is in Florida the law about
conflict of interest states it's only illegal if it enriches his
family....and no one else.... Which is a loophole you
could drive a space shuttle through. Other charter schools
also got breaks from that bill, so it's OK to steal.

Florida politics is corrupt to the bone. I believe you can trace
the source of the current world wide depression directly to
Florida. From the mortgage flipping industry pioneered
in my home town of Miami.


Perhaps it's past due that we the evil villagers with each of our fist
full of burning sticks take charge, and if need be burn down the
castles of those evil robber barons oppressing and misguiding us.



Look around the world to what the Internet and smart phones
are doing. People are getting fed up and are ..massing.
The power of collective action is starting to sink in
around the world.

I firmly believe a One World Government is forming.
But from the people rising up and electronically connecting
in a global network movement freedom, democracy
and justice.

From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street.
In Syria some 15,000 people have died in just
months fighting for freedom. That's a Vietnam like
casualty rate. When the interim govt in Egypt
drops the ball, a 100,000 people show up the
next day to protest. It's really quite a spectacle
of change we're witnessing.

And the rich and powerful are realizing that collective
action can overwhelm almost ...anything in it's path.

So, it's kind of evil against evil, and may the best bad guys win, and

of course only the evil victors get to interpret and publish their
version of history.



When I look around the world at the major obstacles
to a better future, I see two huge roadblocks.
Iran and China.

When those two go to democracy, the remaining
dictators will quickly fall. It's exceedingly rare to find
an example of two functioning democracies ever
going to war with each other.

A corrupt democracy like we currently have will only bankrupt the
likes of China and Iran.

There's nothing wrong with a good dictatorship. Of course coming up
with a "GOOD" anything nowadays is a wee bit problematic, or it well
most certainly become problematic once those Semitic oligarchs and
Rothschilds get done with it.

Giving whomever we elect to lead us with sufficient executive
authority, as to move ahead regardless of whatever others may think we
should be doing, is a kind of an elected dictatorship that we could
learn to live with.

Question is; who do you trust? and what amounts are you willing to
pay?
