Each day, the oceans absorb 30 million tons of CO2, increasing their acidity. The amount of ice flowing out of Greenland during the summer of 2008 was nearly three times more than that lost during the previous year. Without major policy and technological changes, fossil fuels will meet 80% of primary energy demand by 2030.
