Comments on: London Aims 60 per Cent Cut in Carbon Emissions http://priceofoil.org/2007/02/27/london-aims-60-per-cent-cut-in-carbon-emissions/ Oil Change International campaigns to expose the true costs of oil and facilitate the coming transition towards clean energy. We are dedicated to identifying and overcoming political barriers to that transition.

Green House Effect
Carbon dioxide – CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases. It consist of one carbon atom with two oxygen atoms. When its atoms are bonded tightly together, the carbon dioxide molecule can absorb infrared radiation and the molecule starts to vibrate. Eventually, the vibrating molecule will emit the radiation again and it will likely be absorbed by yet another greenhouse gas molecule. This absorption-emission-absorption cycle serves to keep the heat near the surface, effectively insulating the surface from the cold of space. Carbon dioxide, methane and other gases are greenhouse gases.

They all are molecules composed of more than two component atoms, bound loosely enough together to be able to vibrate with the absorption of heat. The major components of the atmosphere (N2 and O2) are two-atom molecules too tightly bound together to vibrate and thus they do not absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect by rapidly increase temperature on the all planet – GLOBAL.
