toward sustainable development‚ is the fundamental goal of global environmental policies‚ including those for global warming (Hijioka‚ Masui‚ Takahashi‚ Matsuoka‚ and Harasawa 2006). Over the last decade‚ scientists have extensively studied the greenhouse effect‚ which holds that the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is expected to produce global warming and other significant climatic changes over the next century (Mendelsohn‚ Nordhaus and Shaw‚ 1994). In this essay‚ we will be discussing about

4 EFFECTS 5 WHAT CAN I DO? 6 BIBLIOGRAPHY 7 The issue The worldwide community has reached an agreement about the global climate; the world is undoubtedly warming. This warming is the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities‚ such as industrial processes‚ changes in land use‚ and deforestation. If we continue‚ the temperature is expected to rise by 400% by 2100‚ and warming in the U.S. is expected to be even higher. This warming will have

might not be able to see all of the bad things in our environment‚ but they are for sure there. This could affect our families and our future one day. There are some problems affecting the environmental stability‚ namely- ozone depletion‚ enhanced greenhouse effect‚ global warming‚ and climate change. First‚ what is ozone depletion? Ozone depletion is defined as the thinning of the ozone layer‚ caused by a group of manufactured chemicals called ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Ozone –depleting-substances

into the atmosphere as warm‚ long-wave radiation. The atmosphere of earth is full of so-called greenhouse gases such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ ozone‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide that act like a blanket‚ trapping some of the heat radiating from the land and oceans and preventing too much energy from escaping into space. The gas blanket works in much the same way as the glass panels of a greenhouse‚ serving to trap energy and keep temperatures at a steady level. The trapped heat keeps earth at

Firstly‚ becoming vegetarian will reduce deforestation/ land destruction. Our earth can only provide a certain amount of space‚ which is used by ocean‚ forest‚ mountains etc. These areas are home to many different kinds of species that live off of these areas. How much food we grow is not just limited by the amount of available land‚ but meat eaters need far more space than vegetarians.

the 2008 to 2012 period under the Kyoto Protocol already in 2008. Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 22.2% or roughly 280 million tons in 2008 compared with 1990. This exceeded the target of 21% set previously. | Limitations of Kyoto ProtocolDeveloping countries that did not sign the Protocol contribute largely to the global emissions. For example in 2012‚ China emitted 300 million tons more than in 2011‚ increasing greenhouse gas emissions by 3.8%. | Copenhagen Conference | Successes of Copenhagen

of resources and human life. This is perfectly depicted when considering the situation in china for example‚ there were two mining accidents in just under a week. A landslide in a gold mine in Tibet due to over mining and in the NorthEast of China a gas explosion at a coal mine claimed the lives of 28 men. These accidents occurred due to the lack of regulation and the corruption and bribery within the mining industry as well as‚ the exploitation of natural resources. This highlights the lack of forethought
