Pros and Cons of Kyoto Protocol Kyoto Protocol is an attempt of global community to encourage industrialized countries to lower on emissions of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions was signed in 1997 and till date there are multiple debates going on whether or not it was a step to foster a global cooperation to address current environmental issues or just a governmental endeavor to take under control a free market spot. First‚ the protocol is seen as a starting point for effective collaboration

Who does not want to have a superpower? Having a superpower is everyone’s desire. There are many different opinions of what superpower does one want to have. Flying‚ inhuman strength‚ invisibility‚ and many more are just a small example of superpower that humans want. However‚ Bill Gates and Melinda Gates are different‚ because they said that they want more time and more energy as their superpower. More time and energy are the only superpower that could bring all humans in this world to live a better

A carbon tax is a tax imposed on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon taxes are a possible cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From an economic outlook‚ carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax.They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not face the full social costs of their actions. Carbon taxes can be a degenerating tax‚ in that it may directly or indirectly affect low-income groups disproportionately. The regressive impact

1.0 INTRODUCTION Flame photometry‚ also referred to as ’flame atomic emission spectrometry ’ is a quick‚ economical and simple way of detecting traces of metal ions‚ primarily Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Lithium‚ Calcium‚ and Barium‚ in a concentrated solution. The process is an extension of the principles used in a flame test‚ with the main differences having more precision in the results‚ and the use of more advanced technology. This report focuses on the theory‚ applications‚ limitations and analysis
