The planet is warming up. Sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is struggling to keep up. And the main driver of today’s warming is the increasing emission of greenhouse gases.It has become evident that the majority of the warming over the last century is caused by these heat-trapping gases known as greenhouse gases. Now, to avoid the worst effects of climate change, the world must reduce net carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2050. It also necessitates a rapid global deployment of renewable energy.
