The habit of renewable energy has turned out to be a seemingly more popular resource in the worlds pocket. The use of biofuels instead of fossil fuels greatly reduce pollution by cleaning the useable waste and creating a stable, lasting power source.
NASA concluded in an analysis of a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2014) on carbon levels in the atmosphere that in recent years, the levels of CO2 has been on the rise. Charles David Keeling (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) concluded that during ice ages, carbon levels were in the low 200ppm (parts per million). Later hovering around 280ppm; however, in 2013, carbon levels surpassed 400ppm. NASA (2014) estimates that the levels will increase upwards of 1500ppm if humanity continues to abuse the usage of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are an energy source that comes from decomposed plants over the course of millions of years. Since this process takes so long, the world depletes the reserves of oil and coal.
