  2. The Fossil Fuel Era fusion A Brief Moment in Time

  3. A Century of Change (1900 (=1) vs 2000) • Industrial Output: 40 • Marine Fish Catch: 35 • CO2 Emissions: 17 • Total Energy Use: 16 • Coal Production: 7 • World Population: 4 • Forest Area: 0.8

  4. World Energy Usage Transportation Ramp Up Improved MPG Increased Coal Usage

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

  6. Every year We Drive More Miles

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

  8. Longer Term Perspective

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

  10. Future Scenarios Driven by The Developing World

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

  12. Climate Models all predict more severe warming at higher latitudes
