KEY:

  1. water vapor & carbon dioxide. Water vapor (clouds) is an abundant,naturally occurring,and very powerful greenhouse gas that helps keep our atmosphere comfortable. Recent changes (last 300 years) in carbon dioxide concentrations have been caused by humans. This is primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels, but is also caused by cement production and the degradation of natural ecosystems. Humans are also responsible for increases in other greenhouse gases like methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (NOx), ozone (O3), and others, but changes in CO2 are our biggest impact on the greenhouse effect and resulting climate change.
  2. Burning fossil fuels
  3. at less than their rate of replenishment and in a way that has the least environmental impact
  4. People, planet, profit – Also frequently described as environmental stewardship, economic health, and social justice
  5. the number of acres required to produce the resources we use
  6. Increase in carbon dioxide absorption
  7. CFCs
  8. Anthopogenic
  9. 30-40 years ago – The Global Footprint Network ( has calculated that we reached this level in 1975
