Someone sent me this link some weeks ago.

The website where this was posted states:

"From a sharp-eyed reader comes this ad for Humble Oil (which later merged with Standard to become, yes, Exxon). It may win the All Time Millenial Award for Maximal Irony. It’s from a 1962 edition of Life Magazine, available on Google Books"

Carbon Maps

I have been looking for a global/African map of carbon storage, and managed to locate two maps that are available. However, both lack accuracy to some degree or other. Another better-looking, but preliminary map was recently printed in Nature. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get hold of the underlying data. Other than that I am well on track with the work here in Stellenbosch.
