Since the Industrial Revolution, however, energy-production, that largely relied on fossil fuels, has led to a rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which leads to global warming. China, the world's biggest producer of greenhouse gases, has said it is serious about cutting emissions. Is China living up to its word, and what Holding global warming to a critical limit would require "rapid, changes in all aspects of society," says a key report from the global scientific alive today, is based on current levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
