70,000,000 Tons of C02 Per day

I just heard Al Gore say in an interview on PBS that worldwide "we pour 70 million tons of CO2 into the thin belt of atmosphere surrounding our planet EACH AND EVERY DAY as if it were a sewer." Think about that a moment.

Sobering at best. Terrifying at the worst.

Isn't that exactly what we're doing? Treating our sky as a big sewer?

And each and every day we keep hoping someone else will solve the problem. While I do see progress and a widening awareness, particularly in the Bay Area, it is quite frustrating at times.
