To Learn More About Climate Change

The scientific consensus is unequivocal: climate change is a reality and it is caused by human activity. Hurricane Katrina in south-eastern United States and the many abnormal heat waves and days of smog we have witnessed this summer are just some of the effects of such change that we have already started to experience.

Unfortunately, these events are only a small sample of the catastrophic effects of climate change that await us if we do not greatly reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the gases that disrupt our climate and are produced by human activity through such things as the use of fossil fuels for energy (petroleum, natural gas and coal).
