                      I wanna hear the dogs crying for water
                   I wanna see the fish go belly-up in the sea
                And all those lemurs and all those tiny creatures
                 I wanna see them burn, it's only 4 degrees
                            AHNONI - 4 DEGREES


In 1965 technologist Gordon Moore predicted that computer chips would double
in price/performance every two years. Unlike, say, a pollster predicting the result
of an Australian federal election, Moore was spot on with his prediction and that
exponential improvement in computing power has provided the engine for
innovation in the 54 years since.

Moore’s law was the only curve in town. The belief that transistor counts on a
chip would double every 2 years became the predominant hypothesis for
investment in technology and the current masters of the universe surfed its
wave to fame and fortune displacing oil barons and industrialists in the Forbes
list. But there’s a new curve in town: the Keeling curve.

The Keeling Curve graphs the accumulation of carbon dioxide in Earth's
atmosphere using continuous measurements at the Mauna Loa Observatory in
Hawaii from 1958 to the present day. The curve is named after scientist Charles
David Keeling, who started the monitoring program and supervised it until his
death in 2005.
