Introduction

As indicated by many scientists,( what is the authority for this, which scientists, book or journal article) the reduction of greenhouse gas emission requires a global consolidated effort with participation from all the countries across the globe. At least, those countries responsible for emitting the maximum amount of greenhouse gas are expected to comply with the cause. The current environment regime as governed by Kyoto Protocol is not helping in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, Kyoto Protocol, due to differentiating between developed and developing countries, has come under heated criticism from all corners. Common but Differentiated Responsibilities ( ...

- What causes climate change? Define the Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse gases (GHG) allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere and absorbs the heat produced by that light. Most of this heat energy is trapped within the atmosphere by the GHG while some of them are let out into the space. The phenomenon of atmospheric heating due to the GHG is called as the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases form the greenhouse gases. Burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing processes, decay of organic matter, agricultural industries and emission of synthetic fluorinated gases from various ...

The laws meant that the Bowen plant of the Southern Company had to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide released during the production of electricity. Prior to the enactment of the laws, Bowen’s sulphur dioxide emissions amounted to thirty tons an hour (Reinhardt 2). This amount translated to an annual emission of 262800 tons assuming 8760 hours in a year. Between 1995 and 2000 during the first phase of the implementation of the laws, the plant would only be allowed annual emissions of 254,580 tons of sulphur dioxide.
This translates to hourly emissions of 29.06 tons (Reinhardt ...

Carbon credit refers to a permit allowing a company or state to emit a ton of carbon dioxide awarded to firms that have decreased the emission of greenhouse gasses below their quota. It follows that a country that produces carbon beyond its quota needs to purchase carbon credits from the energy-efficient ones (those producing less) in what economists call “cap-and-trade.” Although most people believe that the cap-and-trade on carbon emission works, I think this is a false assumption.
Some economists opine that funds raised from trading on carbon credits would help them come up with alternative fuels reducing the ...

What factors contributed to the problem?
Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

It would be tough to choose between the positives and negatives of an electric car, because along with the number of positives it carries, it does have its share of negatives as well. However, going by the popular view that with gasoline depleting and carbon emission increasing, electric cars would be best suited for modern transport; the positives undoubtedly outnumber the negatives. As the world population grows, the need for housing and food has slowly by surely started eating into the forests, and man finds himself fighting for space with animals. As growth has to be supplemented by development, ...

For this paper, I have researched and studied the topic of Carbon Dioxide reduction. In this paper, my effort is to look at why Carbon Dioxide is harming the climate, where is it coming from and measures that are being taken to reduce it. It was around the 19th century when climatologists discovered that our atmosphere had certain gasses that produce a “greenhouse effect” and affect earth’ temperature. The greenhouse effect, simply explained, is when gasses trap the heat in our atmosphere. This is the phenomenon that keeps the earth a warm place. Without this effect, our planet would be a very ...
