Fossil fuel burning yielding the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major component of man-made global warming. In relation to carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, Net Carbon Debt is equal to the Historical Carbon Debt (from fossil fuel burning since the start of the Industrial Revolution in circa 1750) minus the Carbon Credit (the residual carbon pollution from fossil fuel burning permitted between now and zero emissions in 2050).

Or, “why is it white?” (I’d prefer pink myself) Or ‘What is the island that sold off huge amounts of the stuff and is now bankrupt?” (Nauru). It’s Poop Week on 10,000 Birds so this quiz is definitely poop-related. I am a happy soul. If you’ve read my quizzes before, you know better than to expect from me an easy quiz with clues like these: “What’s white and smelly and you’ve seen a million birds expel some and it’s dropped on your new jacket??” (yes, yes, indeed!)

Marcus Stephen, President of Nauru, writing in the New York Times. At just 8 square miles, about a third of the size of Manhattan, and located in the southern Pacific Ocean, Nauru appears as merely a pinpoint on most maps — if it is not missing entirely in a vast expanse of blue. Nauru is worth a quick Internet search, I assure you, for not only will you discover I FORGIVE you if you have never heard of my country. MORE
The Nature Conservancy is leading a project in countries that are part of the Parties to Nauru Agreement (PNA), which brings together nine Pacific island countries – Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Island, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu – to work together to manage 50 percent of the world’s tuna source. Even though I live near the ocean, I am not a fishermen. MORE
At the 2011 Durban Climate Conference the US, with the help of its climate criminal lackeys Australia and Canada, again succeeded in preventing requisite international climate change action.
