WNCAN Comment: 'Not a lot here....'

How energy is generated for us all to use is at the core of Climate Change. The main way humans have been doing this for centuries is by burning wood, and for the last 300 years coal, gas and oil. Burning these fuels emits large amounts of gases that warm the atmosphere. If we continue to do this the Earth will become too hot for humans to live. The sane way to get energy for our needs is to generate it from renewable sources - sunlight, wind, and water.
