Climate change continues to grow as a topic of discussion both on a global and local level. Monmouth College Professor of Ecology and Environmental Studies of Biology Dr. Ken Cramer says that the fast growing populations are the main emitters of carbon dioxide:
“The main emitters of carbon dioxide, of course are the richest countries because we use the most energy. Most of the carbon dioxide that is emitted comes from fossil fuels. Europe, the United States, Australia, China, the fast growing large economies are the ones that emit the most greenhouse gases,” Dr. Cramer informs.
Dr. Cramer reports that reducing the consumption of fossil fuels is top on the list to draw down the levels of greenhouse gases, which can be done by switching to green renewable energy.
