Artistic Carbon Capture

hmmm_teaThere are a number of things going on in the run up to Copenhagen to make the point about how serious climate change is.
One of the more interesting ones is this:
Alfio Bonanno and Christophe Cornubert have created a 1 ton cube of CO2. At 27-foot it's not inconsiderable.
Going on figures from the Guardian, each person in the UK, on average, produces nearly 10 of these each year. That's a lot of carbon, and yet it's nothing compared to places that the US, who produce twice as much per capita.

I have a suspicion that 'less than the US' is damned by faint praise. (Not, I admit, that I'm doing much about it.)
