Sites whose topics relate to carbon and its effects on global climate change are housed in this category, or its subcategories.Carbon is one of the essential building blocks of life. Carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases, have been identified as being one of the chief elements involved in global climate change, which many contribute to man's use of fossil fuels for energy. This category, and its subcategories, house sites whose topics are on the effects of carbon on the earth's climate.
