Global warming is the recent rapid warming of the earth, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.

The estimation procedure used to develop these numbers was as follows: Because data could not be found on other countries / regions, US data (EIA, 2002) on electricity use as a fraction of total energy use by industry and on the fraction of electricity use consumed by motor driven systems was taken as representative of global patterns.

With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO 2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.

DeSmog investigated the submission and found that of the 304 footnote citations in the Peabody document, opinion articles published in media outlets, primarily the Wall Street Journal, were cited as supporting evidence 41 times and groups with historical ties to the fossil fuel industry such as the Cato Institute, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity and the Global Warming Policy Foundation were cited 64 times.

In order to estimate the revenues of the industries that were involved in fossil fuel production, transportation, refining, and electricity generation, I used the Fortune Global 500 list of the largest publicly - traded companies in 2008 (published in 2009).

Whether Global Warming is real or not, it is clear that current Western attempts to reduce CO2 emissions have achieved nothing but 1) Export their industry and jobs to India and China, 2) Increase the CO2 emissions there above what they were in Europe, Australia and North America, so that total emissions increase, and 3) Massively increase domestic electricity prices while enriching Chinese Solar Panel and Wind Turbine manufacturers.

Even the most aggressive and optimistic scenarios for a «nuclear renaissance» that the nuclear industry itself has put forward would, at most, keep nuclear power's share of global electricity generation about where it is now.

I am aware of people making the argument that the big push by the nuclear industry for enormous government subsidies to find a massive expansion of nuclear power on the basis that nuclear power is «THE ANSWER» to global warming is a fraud that dishonestly and cynically takes advantage of growing concern about the very real problem of global warming, and I make that argument myself (because even a quite large expansion of nuclear electricity generation would have little effect on overall GHG emissions, at great cost, taking too long to achieve even that little effect, while misdirecting resources that could more effectively be applied elsewhere).

While the SE4All objectives do not explicitly address climate change, it is clear that sustainable energy is a prerequisite for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: 80 % of human carbon dioxide emissions come from the global energy system, including transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity, heat, and fuel production.
