How We Chose These Products
Global warming refers to the gradual increase in the temperature of the Earth's surface resulting from human caused changes in the Earth's atsmophere beginning in the industrial revolution. A warmer Earth will lead to global climate changes including changing rainfall patterns, intense storms, rising sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.

Earlier this year, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- an international network of over 2,000 climate scientists -- concluded that evidence of global warming is "unequivocal" and human activity is "very likely" the cause (IPCC, 4th Assessment). |
| • |
In April of 2007, the IPCC reported that, without changes in human behavior, within decades climate change could cause hundreds of millions of people to suffer water shortages and tens of millions to be flooded out of their homes annually. By 2080, hundreds of millions could starve (IPCC, 4th Assessment). |
Other Information
There is a natural greenhouse effect that is absolutely vital to allowing life, as we know it, to survive on earth. This natural greenhouse effect is primarily due to the natural carbon cycle which produces and sequesters CO2, and the CO2 in the atmosphere in turn acts as an insulating blanket around the Earth. Without this natural effect, the Earth would be a cold planet with average temperatures roughly 60ºF lower. (Source: US Environmental Protection Agency.) Learn more about the natural carbon cycle.
