Climate Change
The Issue
Greenhouse gases -- carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide -- generated from the use of fossil fuels by human activities are warming our World and accelerating climate change.
In the Lansing area, the major impacts of climate change will be the increasing incidence and damage of flooding as well as extreme weather events, particularly much higher and lower temperatures.
