Additionally‚ Carbon emissions are attributed to being the most significant of the harmful greenhouse gases considered to be the direct cause of climate change. Wuebbles and Jain’s study (2001) illustrates that the increased level of carbon emissions such as carbon dioxide coming from burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal by human activities to power machines and in transport play major role in climate change. However‚ this essay will argue that although carbon emissions resulting from transport

Air pollution in India is a serious issue with the major sources being fuelwood and biomass burning‚ fuel adulteration‚ vehicle emission and traffic congestion.[1][2] India has a low per capita emissions of greenhouse gases but the country as a whole is the third largest after China and the United States.[3] A 2013 study on non-smokers has found that Indians have 30% lower lung function compared to Europeans.[4] The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was passed in 1981 to regulate air

snowmobiles. In 2001‚ the EPA published a proposed emissions standards (Emissions standards for new nonroad engines‚ September 2001) change for “nonroad” vehicles. It was targeted at reducing the harmful emissions created from “nonroad” vehicles such as snowmobile‚ ATV’s‚ and dirt bikes. In 2002‚ the EPA imposed new regulations (Emissions standards for new nonroad engines‚ September 2002) that incorporated the proposed changes to emissions regulations. The first phase of the implementation was

whereby their main source of energy is the fossil fuels‚ the main emitters of the greenhouse gases (GHGs)‚ such as the carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases are the main cause of global warming. Through statistics‚ it is shown that the large-scale CO2 emissions to the atmosphere are worsening day by day‚ so putting the earth on the verge of a massive global climate change chiefly portrayed by the global warming. Though fossil fuels are the major sources of CO2‚ they account for large part of global energy

Problem Details and Background: With a population steadily growing at about 0.9% per year‚ California has the challenge of meeting energy demands while bringing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions down (PPIC 2013). California emits 359 metric tons of energy related carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere annually and is the second largest polluter behind Texas (EPA 2013). High GHG emissions change the climate‚ which is identified

This problem has to be solved by the developed countries because they produce the higher gas emissions and they are the main cause of the global warming. Developed countries have the responsibility to help developing countries. Some developed countries signed the Kyoto Protocol and reduced their gas emissions. Canada with the CCCDF (Canada Climate Change Development Fund)‚ is helping South America to solve the problem. Some large counties like USA‚
