One interesting thing about that projection is the vast melting progress from 1982 to 2001, which indicates the amoung of polution emited into the athmosphere in the late 80s & 90s. The 80s were the the 4th consecutive decade firmly established in industrial revolution - pretty much all aspects of modern life as we know today were present then as well... and yet the critical mass hasn't been reached and the planet could still maintain it's ballance. So It would appear modern way of life is not the root cause of all our woes, but rather the EXCESS
of it. Something brought by the 21st century.
One thing's for sure though: the corporate quest for profit will never back down to environmental concerns. Such is the nature of people. And in light of that... the Kyoto protocol was too ambitious.
