The view that human activities are likely responsible for most of the observed increase in global mean temperature ("global warming") since the mid-20th century is an accurate reflection of current scientific thinking. Human-induced warming of the climate is expected to continue throughout the 21st century and beyond. In contemporary times, there are several ways in which the human race is at risk. One of these risks includes the rising global temperature greatly impacted by gases released into the atmosphere. An organized effort is the most appropriate means to curtain a situation that endangers the human race.
In view of the dangers posed by global warming, a treaty known as the Kyoto Protocol has been designed to help lower emission of dangerous gases that are responsible for global warming and atmospheric deterioration. It is an amendment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was an original treaty on global warming.
Kyoto Protocol:
The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC), aimed at fighting global warming. The UNFCCC is an international environmental treaty with the goal of achieving the "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level …show more content…
The six GHG are translated into CO2 equivalents in determining reductions in emissions. These reduction targets are in addition to the industrial gases, chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are dealt with under the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone
