What is the Greenhouse Gas Footprint or Carbon Footprint?
![](http://calculatemyco2.com/images/carbon-footprint.png)
- Energy consumption / electricity used
- Fuel used for heating and power generation to offset electricity shortfall
- Fuel used for ground transport, such as corporate fleet of cars
- Fuel used for air travel
- Consumption of paper products
- Refrigerant gases used
In order to reduce the GHG emissions, countries are promoting the usage of energy in an efficient way, or green energy sources (PV, Solar Water Heaters, Wind Turbines...) to produce electricity, using biking or buses to go to work and come back, using board instead of paper, and cooling of the house naturally, instead of using AC.
What is the Difference between Climate and Weather?

When scientists talk about global climate change, they're talking about the pattern of change that's happening over many years. One of the most important trends that scientists look at is the average temperature of the Earth, which has been increasing for many years. This is called global warming.
Rising global temperatures lead to hurricanes, melting glaciers, and the loss of wildlife habitats. That's because the Earth's air, water, and land are all related to one another and to the climate. This means a change in one place can lead to other changes somewhere else.
What are the Impacts of Climate Change?
The Earth's climate is getting warmer, and the signs are everywhere. Rain patterns are changing, sea level is rising, and snow and ice are melting sooner in the spring. As global temperatures continue to rise, we'll see more changes in our climate and our environment. Global climate change will affect people and the environment in many ways. Some of these impacts, like stronger hurricanes and severe heat waves, could be life threatening.
The negative impacts of global climate change will be less severe overall if people reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we're putting into the atmosphere and worse if we continue producing these gases at current or faster rates.
