In the High School there is a group of pupils working to help raise awareness of global warming, the importance of savng energy, recycling, etc. and one of the ideas was to have an A-Z list of key words. If anyone could contribute to the list it would be great. Thanks.

Attitude, Atmosphere
Bin, Bio Gas
Clean, Contraction and convergence, carbon
Desertification
Energy, Environment
Fuel Cells, Fusion power
Greenhouse Gas, Global Warming, Geothermal
Hydroelectricity, Heat pump & hydrothermal energy
IPCC insulation
Jet-Stream
Kyoto protocol
Litter
Methane, Montreal protocol
Nitrous oxide, Nuclear energy
Ozone
Pick-Up
Q
Recycling
Solar
Tidy
Uncertainty principle
Volcanic gas/dust
Waste,Wind,Water
Xeolite
Younger Dryas event
Zooplankton

Any contributions are welcome.

I am scraping the barrel but X could be for xeolite, an alternate spelling for zeolite which is an artificial ceramic which is being developed to filter out CO2 from the atmosphere etc.
