Thanks to Muhammad Saleem on OnlineColleges.net for sharing this compelling graphic.
I just received a very cool graphic from my friend and former student who is currently living under the ice at the South Pole. She is very excited about the implications of this graphic.
To read this, imagine yourself on a certain date (x axis). Now, follow a line down from top to bottom and see…
[UPDATE: readers should be aware of a correction on the source site. The best estimate of CO2 is in fact 150,000 tons per day, not 7400, with a possible maximum of 300,000 tons per day. So the graphic is much less compelling, but the story of Joe vs the Volcano is not affected.]

A large part of the problem is that speculators are cornering the market on basic foodstuffs, trying to maximize their profits by taking supplies off the market to drive up prices. It used to be this kind of thing was illegal. Now it's standard business practice.

Enron manipulated the energy crisis in California a few years ago (remember that? blackouts and brownouts) until they got greedy. All the same excuses were trotted out back then too - increased demand, low supply.
Where's the California energy crisis today? gone. And I guarantee you the state of California has not reduced their energy consumption.
