Who are the main "Climate Criminals"
The three main greenhouse gases are methane, nitrous oxide and, most importantly, carbon dioxide. The two main sources of CO2 are emissions from fossil fuel use and deforestation – one releasing carbon by burning ancient biomass and the other by burning its modern equivalent. CO2 concentrations are now far higher than at any time in the past 600,000 years and emissions continue at an accelerating rate. It is now clear (with more than 90% confidence) that they are warming the planet and so shifting the climatic regime.
