We need to remind ourselves that our ultimate goal is not to reduce greenhouse gases or global warming per se but to improve the quality of life and the environment. We all want to leave the planet in decent shape for our kids. Radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not necessarily the best way to achieve that.

Humans have obviously contributed a great deal of carbon to the atmosphere. So we are warming the planet up.

Whether the process proves to be Kyoto or something else, let's acknowledge the urgency of global warming.

You see, the Greenhouse Effect is a direct result of burning fossil or old carbon fuels.

The growing evidence of climate change is forcing attention on carbon emissions and their reduction.

If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods.

My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming.

There is a majority of scientists that say that global carbon emissions by humans causes some changes in the climate.

The pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear.

Even if we were to stop putting out greenhouse gases right now, we'd still face decades of warming.
