This website was launched in 2007 to give unbiased information on climate change, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, and how to become independent of fossil fuels. The calculator is constructed according to the best information available, and will be updated as new information becomes available.We have no financial interest in this area. We have constructed the website because we care about what is happening to our world, and are concerned about the future of children and future generations.
