JA Green Means Cool! ® 


Picture
The World is getting warmer. The rise in temperature is leading to desert expansion, more   common heat waves and wildfires. Temperature rises are leading to melting glaciers and  permafrost thus leading to rising sea levels. Warmer temperatures are causing increasing rates of evaporation and thus more intense storms and weather extremes.

The largest driver of Global Warming is the emission of gases that create a Greenhouse effect of which more than 90% are Carbon Dioxide and Methane. Fossil Fuel burning (Coal, Oil and Natural Gas) for energy consumption is the main source of these emissions with additional contributions from Deforestation and Forest Fires, Agriculture, and Manufacturing.

The contents in Green Means Cool! explain the role of carbon in Nature and how the burning of Carbon causes gases that build up a layer of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere which then traps in heat, thus causing the earth to get warmer.
