Understanding climate change
The latest United Nations scientific findings reports that, leading scientists around the world agree that man-made greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are causing global warming. The greenhouse gases that cause global warming come from many sources, but the main source is the burning of fossil fuels: - CO2 is the most important gas, others are methane (CH4),
nitrous dioxide (NO2),and several other artificial gases, Hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs),
Per fluorocarbons (PFCs); and Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).These 6 groups are accounted for under the Kyoto Protocol.Their Effects are already being seen worldwide. And long-term consequences are devastating, pointing to a darker future each day we fail to act.Since
the Industrial Revolution, humans have been burning fossil fuels on a massive scale. We use this energy, almost without care for the consequences, to run vehicles, heat homes, conduct business, and power factories. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide stored millions of years ago as oil, coal or natural gas. In the last 200 years we have burned a large part of these stores, resulting in an increase in CO2 in our atmosphere. The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere thickens the 'greenhouse blanket', with the result that too much heat is trapped into the Earth's atmosphere. This causes global warming: global temperatures rises and cause climate change.

Very well written and informative post. I'm from Canada, and ashamed to say our government has abandoned Kyoto. I think many Canadians are upset about this, but our current conservative government measures success almost entirely based on wealth.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
