As a Danish Citizen I feel its mandatory to engage in this debate. Denmark recently hosted a major conference to facilitate solutions to the climate threats of this the 21.th century. The result as you all probably know what unfortunately a huge failure, so tons of CO2 was needlessly emitted by flying in all the foreign officials, security motorcades etc etc.

I plan on getting a better result. I’ve learned that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have published about 3 Gigabytes of tarballed weather data, going back as far as 1929. My mission is now to organize and parse that data, to see exactly what the effect of our recent boom in CO2 emission is doing to the environment. From the total effect I’ll be able to approximate Clojures contribution to the Global Warming.

Why should I read this post?

Well if you should read it, it’s because one of more of the following applies:

• I care about Global Warming
• I love heavy computational parallelized Clojure
• I want to know how to stream Tarballs and GZips

The post continues with clojure code for fetching the data.
