One of the most common greenhouses gases and yet the most destructive of them all is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is emitted into the air as we exhale, burn fossil fuels for energy and deforest the planet. There has been a considerable increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over the past few centuries and more so after the Industrial Revolution. Scientists have spent years tracking its alarming increase and the truth remains bare. We are in a global climate crisis and with rising levels of carbon dioxide emission, our Earth is trapping more heat than required – pushing our planet into the extremes of Global Warming.   Countries today are releasing great amounts of carbon dioxide and it is observed that US alone accounts for about 30.3% of all emissions. Meanwhile, as individuals we are adding over 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year.   The Carbon emission graph
