Did you wake up this morning asking yourself how natural gas compares to coal in greenhouse gas emissions? How carbon dioxide releases have fluctuated with the economy over the last decade? How much transportation sector carbon emissions grew in the last year? Why residential CO2 emissions rose 3.2 percent in the last year? (Hint: air conditioning: "While heating degree-days were essentially flat, cooling degree-days rose by 13.2 percent.")
Boy, do I have the page for you: The Energy Information Administration's wonky flash slideshow on everything greenhouse gas.

Bravo for telling the world about environmental dangers! You may be very interested to learn more about the devastating effects of factory farming as well as the plight of chimpanzees and other (sometimes wild-caught) primates in U.S. laboratories. Please join renowned authors, activists, scholars and artists at the "Strength of Many" animal protection conference on October 6-8 at L.A.'s Renaissance Montura Hotel. Registration expires Sept. 29, and we have student scholarships available. Environmental, peace and Latino issues related to animals will also be covered. Don't miss it! You'll be blogging for weeks based on what you learn...
