Soon we will be able to inject all the CO2 underground, where, after 40 years, it will turn back into coal for future use. Good one!

Svante Arrhenius (who came up the Arrhenius rate equation) predicted in 1896 that doubling of CO2 would cause a temperature rise of 5-6ºC which is not far from what the IPCC last stated! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svante_Arrhenius good article but it goes back further than that.

I hope archeologists of the future be able to discover this. Did select humans also presage other blunders of civilizations?
