2018 No Immediate Danger Volume One of Carbon Ideologies

Found it:
"In a span of two days, we consume today as much oil as the yearly oil production of 1900."

[Nathan "N.R."]

The suspected typo!

Totally. They 'should' have found it by now. But wouldn't hurt to clarify.

Reviewed in The Atlantic ::

"The Most Honest Book About Climate Change Yet :: William T. Vollmann’s latest opus is brilliant, but it offers no comfort to its readers."
by Nathaniel Rich
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...

"The planet’s atmosphere will change but human nature won’t. Vollmann’s meager wish is for future readers to appreciate that they would have made the same mistakes we have. This might seem a humble ambition for a project of this scope, but only if you mistake Carbon Ideologies for a work of activism. Vollmann’s project is nothing so conventional. His “letter to the future” is a suicide note. He does not seek an intervention—only acceptance. If not forgiveness, then at least acceptance."

I read Voices from Chernobyl right after finishing Vol 1 of Carbon Ideologies
Highly recommended companion
