Climate Change

36 billion metric tons of CO₂ emissions are released into the atmosphere every year through the combustion of fossil fuels. That is roughly 98 million metric tons of CO₂ released per day. Fossil fuel emissions are driven by multiple factors. CO₂ is an inert gas so once it's in the atmosphere the only way it can really be removed is through photosynthesis. But the reality is there aren't nearly enough plants on Earth to provide sufficient carbon fixation relative to the scale of human linked greenhouse gas production. Some emissions are necessary for modern society to function. A significant amount of emissions are wasteful and could largely be avoided by changing consumption patterns to reduce excess. The main causes of climate change are related to the demands of humans on our environment resources. For example:

1. Over consumption
2. Over producing food. Systematic, food waste
3. Over commuting. Wasted transportation fuels. The cause of which has many factors
