In the general public discourse the climate change debate has been, so far, confined almost entirely to the greenhouse gas issue. Our economycarbon footprint utterly dominates all climate change discussions.

In actual fact there are several major influences acting on the global climate in terms of raising or lowering atmospheric temperatures.

The warming induced by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, is the first such influence. However, while the physics of the greenhouse effect are clear, the chain of causality between greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere and specific weather patterns is not fully understood.

The energy crisis has already prompted a war; that is if you believe conspiracy theorists and the media. There might be some truth to this matter, at least if we take a closer look at the dynamics of supply and demand of fuel all over the world.

Fossil fuel as an energy supply is dwindling. At current rates of consumption, some experts anticipate that we will be out of oil in as little as thirty two years. The burning of fossil fuels also contributes to global warming and the destruction of our environment. Fossil fuels and dirty. Burning them is bad for the planet and bad for those of us who inhabit the earth.

So what can we do about it? How about is we use free, renewable sources of energy? Sunlight is free. Wind is free. Don’t you think it is smart to use the clean free sources of power? I certainly do.
