Scientists say the unprecedented climatic events, those not seen in generations, are due to the changing climate. But, the political leaders have not taken scenarios from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) seriously, which led to embarrassment in the COP-15 in Copenhagen. Recently, another UN international climate change negotiation in Mexico was able to patch some bruises from last year. Still, they have left the most important negotiations on greenhouse gas cut-downs to be discussed in Dublin a year later.
Most of the carbon is stored in the soil and various living bodies in the world. Carbon combines with oxygen through various processes to form carbon dioxide gas. This particular gas released in the atmosphere is one of the important and overwhelmingly successful gases to cause climate change. Most of the climate solutions are also directed to reduce release of this gas to the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels, burning of wood, and changing landscapes too releases huge amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
