The Carbon Footprint: Tracing the Impact of the US Energy Production on Climate Change
According to NASA, the summer of 2023 was Earth’s hottest since records began in 1880. The World Meteorological Organization reports that the past nine years have been the warmest on record, with 2023 breaking previous climate records.
The trend of increasing temperature is accelerating !
CO2 remains to be the most significant contributor to the global warming issue.
The US has improved its Energy Consumption Mix since 1973 in favor of renewable energy sources.
Still, fossil fuel based energy production is the cornerstone of US energy policy—most carbon intense means of electricity production.
This is high time !
The 2023 MIT Global Change Outlook report presents Accelerated Actions,' aiming for a more rapid shift to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by century's end through a major shift from fossil fuel energy production to renewable and sustainable energy.
