Default Re: So; do we all feel dirty?

This is a pretty good graphic of where the CO2 is emitted in recent times - 10 years old:

The amount being emitted today dwarfs the industrial revolution as quite simply there are so many more people in industrial economies.

Probably the biggest shock I've seen was this last year when Antarctic sea ice was greatly lower than previous winters, one in 6 million years statistical outlier - it had been holding up well despite both sides of the debate until then. The oceans are considerably warmer for this El Nino event - being at a solar maximum hasn't helped either.

Do I feel dirty? No. The article is a guilt hit - just look at how little the southern hemi produces. Australia has the requirement to travel much greater distances between isolated population areas in comparison with other nations. We're probably past the time we will not suffer some great disruption in ecosystems, so the question is now how to mitigate it.

3rd chart down is a breakdown of where CO2 emissions are coming from today, and historically. We are in with 'Oceania'.
