Greenland has been shedding billions of tons of ice – in 2007, the melted equivalent of draining San Francisco Bay every 10 days
Arctic Sea Ice: Heat Shield
Arctic sea ice acts like a heat shield, reflecting most of the sun’s energy. As the ice has melted back, it reflects less, and the planet is absorbing more heat.
Arctic Sea Ice by the Decade
NASA satellites have watched Arctic sea ice for three decades now, and the record shows more and more melting over time.

US Temperature Projections
If current trends in burning coal and other fossil fuels continue, average temperatures in the U.S. are projected to increase by roughly 10°F by 2100.
CO2 Capture and Sequestration
CO2 may be separated from other gases at coal-fired electric power plants and transported by pipeline to suitable storage sites.
