| Abstract | "It's time to learn about the role of carbon and fossil fuels on planet Earth. As much as our news is packed with articles about the importance of fossil fuels to the world economy and the global warming caused by increased carbon emissions, few people understand what is happening. This book explaines the fossil-fuel energy cycle that began with the sun and now runs most of the manufacturing, transportation, and energy use in our world. It will educate readers about how fossil fuels are really buried sunlight--energy caught from the sun by plants that were later trapped deep underground for millions of years. Now that this plant matter has been transformed into fuel, humans have been digging it up, changing the fragile dynamic that fulfills the global needs of all living things."-- Provided by publisher. |
