[Montréal, Québec, Canada 18°C] I started this BurningBillboard to gather and disseminate video, audio and written reports about Southern Sudan. The place is at relative peace since signing a peace agreement in 2005. I wanted to know more about Southern Sudan and share what I learned with others interested in the emergence of peace rather than just the expression of war.
I used the blog to centralize my own Southern Sudan research with links, RSS feeds, map collections, etc. and began to feel stifled by the concentration of a single issue. So I decided to dedicate a new URL SouthSudanInfo to Southern Sudan information and regain editorial freedom to discuss a multitude of topics on BurningBillboard. I will continue to cross-post Sudan reports here for anyone already following the blog. The two blog sites now look much the same but BurningBillboard will begin to take on a personality of its own.

I case you were wondering how many flights take to the skies in any given 24 hours around the globe, below is a 71-second video from Swiss engineering school, ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte, that has also developed software to follow global air traffic LIVE. So now you can follow a particular flight and watch it on-screen as you hear it fly over your house! That’s a lot of CO2 emmissions! Notice the change is air traffic quantity as the daylight turns into night.
