As stated earlier, the average surface temperature over the last hundred years has increased by about 0.5 C. Much of the 0.5 C warming occurred early in the 20th century, before the major increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, so most of the 0.5 C warming must have resulted from natural factors of climate chan... | 2_1 |
Green power was replaced by coal and oil. Carbon energy powered factories, mills, pumps, ships, trains, and smelters; and cars, trucks and tractors replaced the work-horses.

Currently, the DOE program is a simple voluntary reporting program with no regulatory significance.
