Climate Change
Throughout the Earth’s geological history the atmosphere has gone
through cycles of warming and cooling driven by factors including solar
radiation and volcanic eruptions. The planet is rapidly warming today,
but this time the cause is human activities.
Because
humans are causing global warming, we can cool it down and stabilize the
climate. The most important steps are to use energy more efficiently,
replace fossil fuels with clean energy sources such as sun and wind, and
protect forests. By taking these steps we will not only stem global
warming – We will also provide secure energy supplies and generate new
jobs and prosperity in clean technologies.
