Climate

Let’s face it. We produce a lot of CO2 and CH4. Whether it’s from power generation, industry, transportation, agriculture, etc. We continue to overload a climate that had developed a stable level of greenhouse gases over the last several hundred-thousand years with gigatons upon gigatons of additional greenhouse gases.

Our primary dependance on power generated from fossil fuels and our mass consumption of livestock mammals, has caused the greenhouse gas levels to jump up like a hockey stick and throw the climate out of balance. These human activities threw out the natural balance our planet had built over the last million years. The effects of higher atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane are being felt globally. All of mankind is experiencing the damages humans cause by making these changes. Whether it’s sea level rise, drought, heat waves, flash flooding, wildfires, more intense storms and weather patterns, or even cold snaps we are all denizens of Earth’s climate.
