An enormous threat to world health and security is posed by the extraordinary rate at which the  Earth's atmosphere is changing. Anthropogenic carbon production and natural carbon absorption  systems were in equilibrium prior to the industrial revolution. Nevertheless, with an increase in  anthropogenic carbon emissions of between 15% and 40% during the industrial revolution, the  situation altered. In 2030, coal will still provide for over 60% of India's energy needs, despite the  increasing emergence of alternatives like solar and wind. The Earth's atmosphere is changing  at an unprecedented rate, posing a huge danger to world health and security. There is broad  scientific agreement that human actions, namely how we transform and utilise fossil fuel energy,  are to blame for growing CO2  concentrations in the atmosphere and climate change. Finally,  in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, it appears that CCS is currently one of the best available  technologies for drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions from certain industrial processes,  and it is a key technology option for decarbonizing the power sector, particularly in countries  where fossil fuels are heavily used in electricity production.
