Steady progress on global warming operations

Today Reuters reports global energy demand will rise 54% by the year 2025. The U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) forecasts that world oil demand will rise from 81 million barrels per day (bpd) this year to 121 million bpd in 2025, with the United States, China, and the rest of developing Asia soaking up almost 60 percent of those extra barrels. Other highlights include increased natural gas use, growing 67 percent to 151 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) a year, and coal use growing by 1.5 percent a year. What matters most is carbon dioxide emissions. These are projected to rise from 23.9 billion metric tonnes in 2001 to 27.7 billion tons in 2010 and 37.1 billion tons in 2025.

We here at our secret underground lair of the CHL look forward to the day that the planet is as hot as Venus. It will take a little luck (a runaway greenhouse scenario would be nice), but I have hope.
