Jackson and his colleagues estimate that global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel sources—which represent roughly 90% of all emissions from human activities—will grow a projected 0.6% Although still a major factor in global emissions, coal has taken a hit, with global usage down 0.9% over 2018 emissions.

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.
