Global Warming and Solar Heating
For global warming, this works like crazy. Make your carbon footprint one size smaller today. Let’s explore the possibilities of using solar heating.
Solar hot water can make your carbon footprint one size smaller today. Let’s explore the possibilities of solar heating. Scientists are virtually certain that human activities have changed the make-up of the Earth’s atmosphere to accelerate climate change.
Greenhouse gases aggregate in the atmosphere and remain for decades to centuries. The continuous build up warms the planet affecting the climate and living organism.
Evidence of Global Warming
You can see evidence of climate change. For example, in a U.S. Geological Survey photos demonstrate the effect of global warming at the west shoreline of Muir Inlet at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
This change demonstrates visually the impact climate change has on the environment.
Solar heaters can meet between 50 to 70% of your heating needs; depending upon the location and system efficiency, you can have a positive impact on climate change.
For example, the US Department of Energy calculated over a 20-year period, solar heating can avoid over 50 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. When you capture the sun’s energy using in a solar collector you do your part to reduce climate change.
The carbon dioxide we consume amounts to the impact you, and I have on the environment. So – take action to minimize the use of fossil fuels, we have just reduced the impact climate change. You can do your part to make your carbon footprint a size smaller.
