WARMING – do your bit! Join COOLmob!
|

|
Greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide and methane are the main contributors
to global warming. Currently, greenhouse gas emissions from the household
sector account for almost one-fifth of Australia's total emissions,
with energy use in the home being the most significant single item,
followed by private transport and the decay of household waste in
landfills.
|
Why should we be
concerned about global warming?
|
The CSIRO projections on
climate change in the Northern Territory point towards a troubled
future if greenhouse gas emissions from all sources continue to go
unchecked. The impacts upon both the natural world and the people
of the Northern Territory will be enormous.
