Climate Change: A Challenge for Europe and Cyprus 27 th - 29 th November 2009 Goethe Center Nicosia Global Warming Global warming is mainly the result of CO 2 levels rising in the Earth’s atmosphere. CO 2 level in the atmosphere has reached to almost 400 ppm. The upper safety limit for atmospheric CO 2 is 350 parts per million (ppm). Atmospheric CO 2 levels have stayed higher than 350ppm since early 1988.

Climate Change: A Challenge for Europe and Cyprus 27 th - 29 th November 2009 Goethe Center Nicosia Fossil Fuel Consumption Fossil fuel consumption has a significant role in global warming. Oil consumption is responsible for 45% of CO2 emissions. More than half of the total oil consumption is used in transport. Coal, Oil, Natural gas is used for electricity generation. We use coal, oil, natural gas, and electricity in industry, building space heating and the like. All these contribute to CO2 emissions.
