I read this article last night, about using Twitter to make machines talk, specifically Tower Bridge. "What a fantastic idea", I thought to myself. "Maybe I can do the same thing for climate change". Also, it would be a good way to flex my Ruby muscles a little and get some "fun" coding in for the first time since Amelia was born.

So, a couple of hours of Ruby later, and we have atmospheric CO2 updates on Twitter. The code is dead simple, and can be grabbed from GitHub.
