For example, fires burning in Indonesia alone during the potent El Niño event in 1997 and 1998 produced the equivalent of up to 40 percent of the global gross carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels for that year (2).

Natural gas is widely considered to be an environmentally cleaner fuel than coal because it does not produce detrimental by - products such as sulfur, mercury, ash and particulates and because it provides twice the energy per unit of weight with half the carbon footprint during combustion.

Normally, CO2 emissions during the year are highest in the first quarter because of strong demand for heat produced by fossil fuels.

A recent report from the Brookings Institution concluded that «the domestic clean economy already employs some 2.7 million workers,» which is more than the fossil fuel industry.9 In addition, it noted that newer «cleantech» segments produced «explosive job gains» that «outperformed the nation during the recession» and that the clean economy is «manufacturing and export intensive.»
