Sources of world's C02 emissions

Eighty percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels. The current burning of fossil fuels – oil, coal and natural gas – releases 7 billion tons of carbon per year in the form of CO2, plus lots of other greenhouse gases. CO2 helps air absorb heat from the sun. The more CO2, the greater the warming of the earth.

Click here for a pie chart illustrating the major sources of the world's CO2 emissions.

Rocky Mountain PBS recently aired "Heat," a "Frontline" report on how the world's largest corporations and governments are responding to rising CO2 emissions and global warming. Watch the full program now.

CO2 emmissions have increased steadily for the past 10 years while worldwide temperatures have DECREASED steadily for the past 8 years. 2007-2008 was the coldest winter in North America for the past 114 years (source NOAA). You need to stop pushing leftist junk science on your viewers.

Al Gore told us Coloradoans that the ski areas would have to close early due to global warming yet last year most stayed open an average of three weeks (or more) longer.

PBS is no longer serving the public interest with it's biased approach to reporting.

It's strange to see the liberals believe stuff they have never seen related to global warming yet ignore things they can see and feel right in their own backyard.

"Global Warming" is, perhaps, a misleading term since it refers to some parts of the world getting warmer and some getting colder. The decrease in temperatures is part of the issue.

The problem with the coverage on any and every tv station is that none of them get into the deeper explanations and reasons behind this climate change trend. The more I learned from books and full-length documentaries, the more I saw how everything was connected and how I realized this wasn't just junk science.

Also, this isn't a liberal issue, Merrill. The Bush administration acknowledges the cause and effect of climate change as does the incoming Obama team.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Global warming is most definitely a liberal issue. It started out as global warming but when that argument was debunked, global warming enthusiasts cleverly changed the name to global climate change. That way when it's too hot it's global climate change, when too cold - climate change, too much rain - climate change, too Dry - climate change etc. You get the idea.

There are just as many opinions discrediting the idea. Leftists want to believe so badly that man is destroying the world that man made climate change becomes real to them despite overwhelming evidence otherwise.
