Whats going on?
The world works in a similar way to people.
People 'respire' in order to live...while the world 'industrialises'..


You eat carbohyrates to provide calories for energy - this 'fuels' what you do.	Whatever you do, you burn the fuel for energy and then breathe out carbon dioxide - a process called 'respiration' - are you burning enough fuel?	If you run too fast you will either run out of fuel, or run 'out of breath' - because you have produced too much carbon dioxide.
IN = FUEL	ON = ENERGY USE	OUT = CARBON DIOXIDE CO₂


We are burning up a lot of the world's fossil fuel for energy: coal, oil and gas - this 'fuels' what we do.		As we make and do more, we burn fuel for energy in the process called 'industrialisation', emitting more carbon dioxide - are we burning too much fuel?		We are running out of fuel, CO₂ emissions collect in the upper atmosphere, trapping warm air, so warming the world - because we have produced too much carbon dioxide.
