Global warming and climate change resulting from human activities that led to an increase in the amount of carbon -containing gases in the upper atmosphere and the increase in the quantities of fine particles (black carbon) in the lower atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels and microscopic particles caused by incomplete combustion inhale the sun's energy in the atmosphere . Human activities have contributed the last 250 years such as burning fossil fuels and cutting the carbon forests to increase global warming, as emissions increased in the last 25 years with more than 33%, most of them carbon dioxide, which constitutes three quarters of this increase.
Carbon fingerprints measure the emissions of gases that cause climate change to the atmosphere and also include environmental fingerprints, water fingerprints and land fingerprints. The total carbon fingerprint can be accurately calculated due to the lack of special data and the absence of complete knowledge of complex interactions between the various and interfering processes, including the impact of natural processes responsible for release or dual storage Carbonvy oxide writing "carbon fingerprint for everything" for Mike Burinsley made it clear that the carbon fingerprint is the sum of all greenhouse gases that are emitted as a result of the performance of a specific activity or to produce a product and the source of this fingerprint is four categories: - home energy, transportation, food and products such as clothes, cars or Electronic devices where each activity or product has a special imprint
The carbon fingerprint of individual is the sum of carbon fingerprints for all the activities he practices and the products he buys. A person who takes cows with a carbon fingerprint is higher than the other who feeds on vegetable products and who uses a large car to move daily with a carbon fingerprint higher than the other that is used to move light means as a airbag. A fingerprint is both low for a first -class businessman twice a month.
The carbon fingerprint increases by increasing the wealth of the individual. The average carbon footprint of the individual globally is about seven tons of carbon dioxide annually. But the average British citizen is close to 13 tons annually and his American counterpart is about 21 tons. The average American citizen produces greenhouse gases during the first time, as a result of the Nigerian for a full year.
To calculate the carbon footprint for a traveler on a flight. It can be calculated by knowing the amount of fuel consumed on the trip and the resulting gases, and it is divided into the number of travelers and the fingerprint of business class passengers and the first class is greater than the imprint That access to a precise number of all activities is difficult, but the estimated numbers show the value
The carbon fingerprint of messages of e -mail around the world is equivalent to the emissions of 7 million cars, according to estimates published by Science Fox that sending any email produces a carbon imprint as a result of the electricity used to operate the devices that are written and read, and the transportation networks. The electricity used in one email produces about 4 grams of carbon dioxide emissions and the number rises to 50 grams by downloading a heavier file, which needs additional storage space and longer to send it.
The exacerbation of the phenomenon of climate change and the high unprecedented temperatures that have caused environmental crises that have not occurred before the drought of the forest fire, would push everyone to change the general lifestyle, rationalize energy consumption, reduce meat intake, and search for alternatives to suit the climate to keep it from severe cruel changes. Reducing the carbon footprint depends on the nature of the individual's life and with simple daily decisions that can be significantly reduced. During the day it will leave an impact on the planet
