Carbon Facts
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are causing the Earth’s climate to change which will have catastrophic results if we do not act to reduce them now. CO2 emissions are about 40% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution and at their highest levels in recorded history covering over 650,000 years.
The effects of climate change can already be seen now. Temperatures are increasing, glaciers are receding at unprecedented speeds, whole chunks of the Antarctic ice shelf are breaking off, warmer seasons are becoming longer and storms are becoming more severe and causing more and more damage. Isn’t it time we do something about it?
