Stop new fossil fuel projects!
STOP NEW FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS! F ossil fuels have major contribution in global warming. Over last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) upto 408 PPM (parts per million). The level of CO2 in the air is at their highest in 6,50,000 years. As concentration of CO2 increases in atmosphere more heat is trapped, hence it increases the atmospheric temperature. This has caused global temperature increase by 1.8°F since 1880, more likely two third of global warming has has occurred since 1975 at the ratio of roughly 0.15°C-0.20°C per decade. This rise in temperature is causing polar ice sheets to loose its mass by 413 gigatonnes per year,which means Arctic ice is decreasing by 13.2% per decade. Due to which global average sea-level has raised more than 178mm over past 100 years and continues rising 3.2mm per year. This had increased the flooding in many regions and will increase the intensity of hur...
