A NASA,Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York, study has highlighted that on-road transportation is the most significant overall source contributing to global warming. Though Power generation scores quite high on this score but it also produces many other compounds which increases cloud reflectivity.

3264648110 49811e1eae Transportation and Power Generation are Responsible for Global Warming. environmentOn road transportation has been the main culprit and contributes heavily towards global warming.  No one should mistake the point of this study to indicate that coal burning and other power-generation and industrial processes are benign and therefore do not need to be scaled back. India and China are expected to rely heavily on fossil fuel burning for their power generation in the coming decades. And these are the two countries which are expected to record highest growth in the world. The facts presented here doesn’t support fossil fuel burning for power generation. The developing nations should maintain their focus on finding alternate sources of energy for their growth.

Study looks at all major sector of economy and tries to rate the sectors of economy on the basis of their harmful effects. biomass burning, power generation and industries produces good quantity of cooling aerosols which abets global warming. Biomass burning which occurs due to tropical fires and shrubs burning, is primarily responsible for Carbon Di Oxide emissions.
