Climate models are computer programs that simulate weather patterns over time. Scientists use these models to predict how the climate might change in the future.| MIT Climate Portal
Net zero emissions are achieved when one's greenhouse gas emissions are effectively balanced out by actions that take or keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.| MIT Climate Portal
Solar energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, in which sunlight is turned into electricity, heat, or other forms of energy we can use.| MIT Climate Portal
Electric vehicles are a cleaner alternative to gasoline- or diesel-powered cars and trucks—both in terms of harmful air pollution, and the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
Mining provides us with the building blocks of modern society, but much of the energy used to get minerals out of the ground, and process them, today comes from fossil fuels.| MIT Climate Portal
