Natural gas accounts for appropriately one-quarter of the global energy consumption. It is the fastest-growing fossil fuel in use today and is projected to last only about sixty more years.


How does climate change?

Climate is an average of weather over several years, at least twenty or thirty. Climate is always changing, but changes in the past have happened very slowly, over thousands of years. Humans have never been able to change the climate before, but now, since we began burning fossil fuels, we have added so much greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that the world is warming up. This global warming is causing climate change, because heat is energy, and the extra energy in the oceans and atmosphere is changing our weather substantially. Over the years the climate changes.


Will America do anything about climate change?

America has been taking steps to switch to alternative, renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy. US greenhouse gas emissions have actually declined in recent years. The country still has a long way to go, of course.

Has the percentage of energy imported to the United States increased or decreased over the last fifty years?

Increased. In 1950, 8.4% of the total volume of crude oil consumption in the United States was imported. Imports as a percentage of the total consumption peaked at 66.6% in 2006, and have declined since to 56.9% in 2012. Note that in my calculations using the U.S. Energy Information Administration raw data, Consumption = Production - Exports + Net Imports. See also the related link for the EIA generated graph. Imports of coal, natural gas, and other forms of energy into the U.S. are considered negligable during this time period.
