Facts on Climate, Emissions, and Ozone

The Colorado Oil and Gas Association shares the concerns of both governments and citizens about climate change and climate change risks. Oil and natural gas are the primary source of energy for the global economy, supplying roughly 80 percent of total global energy demand. The U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects a significant drop in coal being offset by rising usage of natural gas, wind, and solar energy. The environmental benefits are, and will continue to be profound, as natural gas as an energy source has a low carbon dioxide emissions profile.
