Climate change protest sign written on a disused advertising billboard in front of the main smokestack at a coal-fired power station. The burning of coal at power stations increases the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas,and is considered to be a major cause of human-induced global warming,an example of climate change. This is Didcot A Power Station near Didcot,Oxfordshire,UK. The power station began generating electricity in 1968,mostly burning coal,but also using some natural gas. The main smokestack is 198 metres tall. Didcot A has the capacity to produce 2000 MW (megawatts) of power | |
