Government Technology - February 2008 - (Page 54) Close Global warming — the gradual increase in the average temperature of air near the Earth’s surface and its ocean water — is projected to continue. But there are ways we can help. With greening initiatives on the forefront of government officials’ minds, reducing carbon emissions by allowing government employees to telework a few days per week may help mitigate climate change. Up Temperature Anomaly °C FEB_08 54 j Extreme Forecast Carbon dioxide emitted from cars is a known leading cause of global warming — and city gridlock is another. In 1996, drivers in Los Angeles and New York City alone wasted 600 million gallons of gas sitting in traffic, which resulted in about 7.5 million tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. 0.5 This graph by Robert Simmon is based on carbon dioxide data from Dr. Pieter Tans at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Earth System Research Laboratory, and temperature data from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. According to most projections, temperatures will only get hotter. Simply stated, it shows an overall rise in the Earth’s temperature — of more than one degree Celsius (or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) — from 1890 to 2000. 0 Temperature baseline (1951-1980) -0.5 1880 1900 1920 1940 Year 1960 1980 2000
