Global Warming Effects and Causes
1. Global Warming Cause: Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants
Our ever increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity production, and burning coal accounts for 93% of emissions from the electric utility industry [EPA, pg. 10]. Every day, more electric gadgets flood the market, and without widespread alternative energy sources, we are highly dependent on burning coal for our personal and commercial electrical supply.
So now that you have read this, my question is will any of you be willing to stop using your phones. personal computers, telsa vehicles or the multitude of electrical devices that you have right now to reduce climate change? If not... then how do you expect the global world to do the same?
Think about it before you open your mouth to complain about it.
