Global warming current Issues
A small handful of companies are responsible for the majority of the greenhouse gas emissions causing global warming. In fact, just 90 fossil fuel companies account for almost two-thirds of carbon dioxide emissions since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Coal
Coal was once king in the U.S., even accounting for more than 40 percent of our electricity. But coal, the most polluting of all fossil fuels, is bad news for our health and the environment. The good news is people around the world are moving away from dirty, polluting coal in favor of clean, renewable, affordable energy.
Right now, we have the chance to quit coal for good and keep remaining U.S. coal reserves in the ground.
Oil
The last thing the world needs is more oil. As with other fossil fuels, our reliance on oil is fueling climate change, polluting priceless landscapes and costing billions of dollars. Fossil fuel companies are fighting to maintain the status quo, but we’re fighting back.
We’ve got great opportunities today to build a cleaner energy system in time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change—and oil has no part in it.
Fracking
Fracking is the fossil fuel industry’s latest false solution to our energy challenge. It’s more expensive, more polluting, and more dangerous than clean, renewable energy. Fracking is diverting money and attention from the real long-term solutions we need for a sustainable energy system, while adding to greenhouse gas pollution and environmental degradation.

factories emit smoke that contains chemicles that go into the air. people breathing, cows farting, bacteria digestion (a/k/a things rotting), etc. also emit chemicles that go into the air. sometimes when it rains the raindrops have some chemicles in them. if they are certain chemicles it is called acid rain. other chemicles, such as carbon dioxide, stay in the air and act as a blanket around the earth. this makes the earth warmer. as a result, glaciers melt, land shrinks, plants die, animals become extinct (or perhaps adapt via convergent or divergent evolution). the current administrat…
@Cau/US/Prot/Texan: The current POTUS says that the US is a leader on Global Warming issues. Most of the US rejects man made Global Warming.
