The black line is the historical record of temperature and the colored section is predicted. They have an interactive site where you can plug in dates of significant things in your life to see how you relate to the change in climate.

For the last 10 years the electric consumption hasn't gone up much.

I learned something new today. I already knew the creation of the SUV and minivan models in the 80s was in response to the fleet fuel efficiency (CAFE) requirements implemented by the Feds. Those models were exempt from the fuel efficiency requirements because they were classified as trucks, not passenger cars. I assumed the crossover vehicles were also considered trucks. But I just looked it up and found I was wrong. The crossover vehicles are considered passenger cars, and must meet the fuel efficiency requirements. So I have no idea why they are so popular other than people just like them.
Wikipedia CAFE sub-entry on SUVs and Minivans. |

Exactly, minivans replaced the station wagon because the were so practical but they soon acquired the "soccer-mom" stigma becoming uncool. So people bought SUVs to be cool, but they were not as convenient or comfortable so the crossovers were created.

Wull I need to haul my bass and band gear, and be just a little less jarred by the urban minefield, and I like to do that while still getting 25 MPG.

The minivan was perfect for that, the successor to the VW bus with or without Jesus.

The ideal shape of a vehicle is the van. Anything less and you are not maximizing storage area on the wheel base.
In some instances, construction for example, a standard truck is desired for accessibility and storage of irregular-shaped objects. However, the van has the advantage of securing your storage from the elements, as well as *anyone being able to just walk up and take things*

My 13th birthday I had a party after school and my mother picked up a dozen kids in a pickup truck. That's a big no-no these days, that now requires a van.
