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

Conclusion
Short-term responses would require an increased efficiency and attention to conservation to all sectors. For a coal fired plant, a 5% increase in thermal efficiency corresponds to a 15% reduction in CO2. The more long-term strategy must include fuel switching to lower CO2 content and finally to a renewable source such as solar-hydrogen or biomass.

Many of the effects that may occur under a climate change scenario remain unknown. Policy makers continue to call for additional studies, whose conclusions become more steadfast in their results. Current models demonstrate the need to strengthen research into sustainable energy alternatives to the fossil fuel economy. The world awaits results to further information gathered on greenhouse warming, but the real global experiment continues to run on unhindered.
