Co2 levels over 3 months

I was doing some further research on Pachube to find a feed that would be more interesting and more appropriate to base my installation on. I came across this interesting feed on Co2 emissions in Perth and found it fascinating as over a three month period, the Co2 levels clearly increase (going into the colder months).

In regards to Pure War, this feed links to the concept of war between technology and environment, and in-turn people. The war being waged is the effect of Co2 emissions on the environment (global warming/climate change) caused by technology (electricity generation and consumption). I think this idea engages with the concept of an ongoing war; while humans are increasing Co2 levels, engaging with a war on the environment, the war of climate change is fighting back against it. This cyclic and ever increasing war is a clear example of Paul Virilio's concept of an invisible war between humanity and technology.
The upward trend in Co2 over the winter months (caused by woodfires, heaters etc.) could be clearly represented in an installation.
