A lot of people are concerned that global warming
may mean the end of the world; some consider it
doomsday. Environmental groups have launched
campaigns to inform people of the possible effects of
global warming.
However, many are trying to downplay the potential
risks associated with global warming. For instance,
fossil fuel organizations like the American Petroleum
Institute and Exxon Mobil have launched campaigns
reducing the bad image of fuel.

major fuel that is burnt in these power plants. Coal
produces around 1.7 times as much carbon dioxide
per unit of energy when flamed as does natural gas
and 1.25 times as much as oil. The coal gives out
eighty percent more carbon per unit of energy it
produces as compared to natural gas. Another major

of

in

other vehicles.
About twenty percent of carbon dioxide emitted in
the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in
the engines of the vehicles. This is true for most of
the developed countries. Moreover if sports bike and
vehicles that are essentially designed for rough

terrain, emit more carbon dioxide when used for
general purpose on roads. It is always better to use
vehicles designed for city driving on the city roads.

Impacts of Global Warming:
Global warming will have serious impacts on the
environment and on society. Higher temperatures
will cause a melting of ice in Greenland and
Antarctica. This will accelerate the rise of sea level.
The speed at which global warming is expected to
occur in the 21st century is faster than most plant
and animal species will be able to cope with. Some
