Our Carbon Culture

Our Carbon Culture

DK Eyewitness: Climate Change

The Carbon Cycle is the process by which carbon is constantly absorbed, stored and recycled by living and non-living things, thereby maintaining the delicate balance that supports all life on Earth.
Burning the Forests

Burning the Forests

DK Eyewitness: Climate Change

Trees and forests are known as the lungs of the Earth because they absorb and store carbon. But when they’re burned or cut down, the C02 they release contributes to global warming.
The Greenhouse Effect

The Greenhouse Effect

DK Eyewitness: Climate Change

Earth’s atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, deflecting the fiercest of the Sun’s rays while retaining heat that would otherwise escape at night. This is known as the greenhouse effect and it’s a process that’s essential to life on Earth.
