DUDE – its FINITE

The Fossil Fuel Era A Brief Moment in Time fusionfusion

A Century of Change (1900 (=1) vs 2000) Industrial Output: 40 Marine Fish Catch: 35 CO 2 Emissions: 17 Total Energy Use: 16 Coal Production: 7 World Population: 4 Forest Area: 0.8

World Energy Usage

Transportation Craze Emerging Markets in India and China are source of real concern Emerging Markets in India and China are source of real concern

Every year We Drive More Miles

Ice Core Data is Revealing Currently 373 PPM; 25% higher

Longer Term Perspective

Possible Futures But role of clouds and aerosols are a major complication. But role of clouds and aerosols are a major complication.

Our Fossil Fuel Legacy Last Years increase was 2.54 ppm - oops

Climate Models all predict more severe warming at higher latitudes

And Let’s Not Forget Methane 25x GWP of Carbon Dixoide Rice fields, cow slaughtering, sewage
