As we try to objectively study nature, we are often reminded of how natural forces affect us personally. When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The apparent contradictions do not end there.
