The potential for the effective use of renewable sources of the main sources. The potential for the effective use of renewable sources of energy in this country is huge‚ but its implementation is poor. What is the cost of using non-renewable sources? Most serious of all is the contribution to climate change. We have been steadily

Global Warnings Controversy over global warming exists as a dispute regarding the nature and consequences of global warming. The theory of global warning as presented in the mainstream media currently assumes that carbon dioxide is an atmospheric greenhouse gas and since humans are producing more carbon dioxide than previously‚ the temperature must therefore rise. The cause of global warming is not actually known‚ but in it ’s simplest terms the debate boils down to whether or not global warming
