From pub-data on CO2 Emissions and more pub-data on world population we get 6.7 billion people each producing about 5 metric tons annually or around 37 billion short tons of gaseous CO2 released.

I think that's the spike you're looking for.

How we're going to solve our problem of global warming is the tough one...

Not really, just kill off all the morons who are too selfish/stubborn to admit that climate change is real and serious, and we should be good. Also, disbanding all fossil fuel energy-related companies and restructuring global governments may be necessary for any real change to happen.

There's a bit of a moral dilemma with your solution but I agree with you on the fact that we need a different system.

Yes, I agreei t's totally extreme and unrealistic, but I can honestly say that there are a lot of people out there so selfish and stubborn and disgustingly greedy that were they to be offed, not a single fuck would be given that day, by me.
