Global and Domestic Carbon Dioxide Emissions & their Effect on Climate Change

Executive Summary
The circumstances surrounding global climate change and global warming will continue to be argued over for years. The emissions of greenhouse gases cannot be blamed on any one industry or fossil fuel. Of the warming commitment, coal combustion contributes globally 30% of the CO2 emission and about 15% of the total infrared absorbing gas pledge.

Attempts have been made in determining an adequate technological remedy, like CO2 scrubbing, but neither the uses nor the storage facilities exist for such an effort. The long term solution lies in a weaning of fossil fuels in favor of renewable sources such as biomass and solar.
