There's something seriously wrong with those values

It has to be right doesn't it?

They're not talking about the animal penguins!
They're talking about Club Penguin - it's an online game run by Disney!

(This might make it clearer: http://visualization.geblogs.c...n/co2/#/data_centres)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Penguin

 

BTW: their use of units is a bit inconsistent. They give the output of EyjafjallajÃķkull (which they also misspell   ) as 150,000t but the output of Yellowstone is given as 173kt. It means it can be easy to miscompare things if you're not paying attention...

Thanks for clarifying things, Eugene.

Thanks for explaining that. I've never heard of the Club Penguin game.
