Worldwide energy consumption varies dramatically, but the impacts are shared by all. The most commonly used fuel sources for energy around the world are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. Combustion of fossil fuels releases pollutants into the atmosphere, where the emissions from all countries combine to cause local, regional, and global issues. One of the primary pollutants of concern is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change, and governments around the world have taken steps to control carbon dioxide levels, but not all countries have been successful in reducing carbon emissions.
While all countries produce pollution, and emit greenhouse gases, the emission releases are very unequal across the globe. Consider what kinds of factors would determine how much energy is used by a country, a region, a household, or an individual. What factors would influence the fuel choices made by these people and institutions?
For this assignment you will conduct research to determine the common fuel sources, sources of emissions, and applicable regulations of a country of your choice and create a PowerPoint presentation designed to educate your classmates.

Information provided on the slides should be brief and bulleted. In the notes section, you will include your talking points as if you were presenting them to an audience. Remember, you want to tell the story during the presentation rather than having your audience reading your slides along with you during the entire presentation.
I have attached a template guide for the powerpoint for guidance.
Basic Presentation Expectations:
– Include a title slide, introductory slide, and conclusion slide.
– Use images (with citations) as appropriate to create an effective and professional presentation.
I- nclude short descriptions and labels – bullet points are encouraged. Do not write out full paragraphs of information on each slide.
– Talking points that would be presented to an audience are included for each slide (as appropriate) in the NOTES section of the slide.
– Respond to the questions in a thorough manner, providing specific examples of concepts, topics, definitions, and other elements asked for in the questions. Your submission should be highly organized, logical, and focused.
– Your submission should have no evidence of plagiarism. Paraphrase information taken from references.
– Your submission must be written in Standard English and demonstrate exceptional content, organization, style, and grammar and mechanics.
– A separate slide at the end of your presentation should contain a list of references in APA format. Use your textbook, the Library, and the internet for research.
Be sure to include references for all sources and to cite them using in-text citations where appropriate. Your sources and content should follow current APA citation style.
