%X Since the Industrial Revolution, greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions have greatly increased with the increased use of fossil fuels,
leading to air pollution and global warming. We present the researches on air
pollution and the use of fos</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">sil fuels in
north China, the economic zone of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\"> and the
economic zone of the Pearl River Delta region. Researches indicate that the use
of fossil fuels has been the main source of air pollution in the three regions.
We present researches on global mean surface temperature (GMST) with the rise
of carbon dioxide concentration (CDC) and global fossil fuel consumption (GFFC)</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\"> researches indicate that
the rise in CDC can account for 91% of the rise in GMST, and GFFC can account
for 90% of the rise in GMST. We analyse the factors that bring about air
pollution and temperature rise, they are the use of fossil fuels and
deforestation. It is critically important to replace fossil fuels with clean
energy, but renewable energy has also disadvantages. The world faces
difficulties in solving air pollution and global warming, so governments of the
world should cooperate to solve the technologies of clean energy, and preserve
the forests and the natural environment.
