Unfortunately, the current low prices for oil, gas, and coal may provide little incentive for research to find even cheaper substitutes for those fuels.

Renewables account for only a small share of global primary energy consumption, which is still dominated by fossil fuels—30% each for coal and oil, 25% for natural gas.

Short-term oil shortage drove American consumers to wait in long lines at gas pumps.

Left alone, it was assumed, the world's rain forests would not only flourish but might even rescue us from disaster by absorbing the excess carbon dioxide and other planet-warming greenhouse gases.

billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year - making forests the leading source of greenhouse gases

More than paradise lost, a perishing rain forest could trigger a domino effect - sending winds and rains kilometers off course and loading the skies with even greater levels of greenhouse gases - that will be felt far beyond the Amazon basin.

Each burning season in the Amazon, fires deliberately set by frontier settlers and developers hurl up almost half a billion metric tons of carbon a year, placing Brazil among the top five contributors to greenhouse gases in the world

The author argues that the rising carbon levels in rain forests may turn them into a major source of greenhouse gases.

turn them into a major source of greenhouse gases

What makes Brazil one of the world's top five contributors to greenhouse gases?

In face of global warming, much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies.

But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it

Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts coal into synthetic natural gas.

It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations

Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline(盐的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.

For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas after carbon dioxide.

Methane has become the chief source of greenhouse gas.

Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate "free-riders": causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate chan

Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
