Abstract

Evidence proves that the climate is changing due to both natural cycles and anthropogenic influences. The increase in global carbon dioxide concentration, along with that of other greenhouse gases, is a major cause of global warming. Studies indicate that total emissions released from fossil fuels are related to the economy, are still on the rise, and can be stabilized through conscious efforts. Improving land management practices, incorporating carbon sequestration techniques, increasing energy efficiency, and using alternative energy sources are current ways that we can decrease our use of fossil fuels. Some alternative energy sources include waste biomass and cellulosic ethanol, along with others. Current research aims to identify ways to provide affordable fuel sources with little environmental impacts.
