- Heating and cooling in the home are powered usually by electricity.
- Electricity is generated mostly by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
- Burning fossil fuels releases the carbon that has been stored in them for millions of years.
- This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which are causing the planet to warm.
