We hear almost daily about global warming, as well as two distinct views of what is happening to our planet. One view is that our carbon emissions and other pollution is leading to a disastrous ecological collapse and destruction of the world. The other view is that although we are causing harm, the earth is capable of repairing the damage in natural cycles of ice ages and thaws.

Whatever our view, all responsible people realize that the pollution emissions are wrong and something needs to be done about them. The biggest culprit seems to be the increase in carbon dioxide level that upsets the delicate balance of our atmosphere. The impact that humanity makes is called our carbon footprints.
