Carbon Trading - Climate Change & Global Warming

Climate Change

The growing scientific consensus is that the effects of climate change and global warming is largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and changes in land use, such as deforestation.

Projections of future warming suggest a global increase of 2.5ºF (1.4ºC) to 10.4ºF (5.8ºC) by 2100. In addition to warming, increases in sea level and changes in precipitation, including more frequent floods and droughts, are likely. These changes, over time, are referred to broadly as "climate change".

Global Warming

The world is undoubtedly warming as the science of climate change and global warming will provide evidence for. To protect ourselves, our economy, and our land from the adverse effects of climate change, we must ultimately reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. To achieve this goal we must consider cost effective ways of reducing or avoiding the production of GHG emissions.
