Such an outlier is not completely unprecedented it looks like from his chart, but only if it immediately and rapidly corrects downwards in the coming days...
at least we've created lots of shareholder value
Almost as bad as web devs forgetting how to use the HTML tag.
next the tundra melts and releases an insane amount of methane. we are so screwed.
I doubt humans will go extinct, but yeah... we're screwed.

and anybody owning stock in companies that insure those properties....

And this is why American coasts are grossly over-developed-- the government undercuts private insurers who would charge a much higher market price.
What industry is contributing to climate change the most? Where is a good place to find data on this?

It seems like we keep discovering new positive feedback loops for global warming. Less ice means less reflection. Warmer arctic means more methane from permafrost. Desertification means less carbon capture. There was a recent article in Scientific American about likely changes in cloud formation from AGW. Some clouds reflect sun (cooling), while others trap heat (warming). Guess which are likely to increase? I doubt…

These datasets were collected from various government agencies as part of a larger collaboration with John Baez and a couple of other scientists from the Azimuth Climate Data Project: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/azimuth_backup_project/
My server has a 1Gbps connection and can support sustained downloads of very large files. Unfortunately, the data isn’t well documented, but I’m working on improving that in the future. It’s organized roughly according to the agency it’s sourced from on a directory basis.
The archive includes datasets from NASA, NOAA, EPA, USGS, NCDC, CDC, EIA, FDA, USDA, DOE, and various subdepartments thereof.
