While the recent fluctuation in the price of crude oil is being driven alternately by\u00a0irrational hope<\/a> followed by despair<\/a>, the U.S. Energy Information Agency (the EIA, yep, it’s all bean counters there) is predicting that 2010 will bring enough economic growth that global CO2 emissions will increase by a modest 2.1%<\/a> and that crude oil prices per barrel will average $81 through 2010 and $85 by the end of 2011.<\/p>\n

This follows a 6.6% decline in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels in 2009, but will still be lower than the annual emissions from 1999-2008 when we were spending, growing and buying things on credit as if there was no tomorrow.<\/p>\n
