Components Forcing Climate Change
As readers of Cursed know, I love a great graphic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its report on Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis today.
"Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."
My take-away is that the triple bottom line approach to developing my projects is even more important. Limiting greenhouse gas emissions is tough, but every new project I do has this as one of its elements. More expensive? Not in the long run.
