Each nation could develop substantial programs with their 2 percent allocations. Such an allocation for the US should hopefully force legislators to develop programs to reduce climate change. If I were able to move beyond this action, I would pass a law making it illegal to pollute the

During the 1960’s Quebec’s “Quiet Revolution”, led by Jean Lesage’s Liberals, were able to gain significantly more control over health care, education, and natural resources. Further demands were made by the elected sovereignist Parti Québécois and Bloc Québécois (Dickinson and Young 2003: 324-327).

Kyoto Protocol Mechanism

1476 Words | 6 Pages

INTRODUCTION The Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Treaty on Climate Changes legally commits countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2 percent relative to 1990 levels. CDM and carbon trading are the two mechanisms evolved under the protocol for achieving these targets. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), one of the two project-based flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol. On the other hand Carbon trading allows industries in developed countries to off-set their emissions of carbon dioxide by investing in reforestation and clean energy projects in developing countries. These mechanisms make it easier and economical for industrialized countries to meet the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets that have been agreed upon under the Kyoto

Global Climate Change: The Consequences Of Global Warming

1634 Words | 7 Pages

Global climate change constitutes arguably the single most important threat to mankind. From the onset of the industrial revolution, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), including carbon dioxide (CO2) have increasingly built up in the atmosphere, causing the climate to warm up slowly but steadily (IPCC, 2014). NASA predicts that 2016 will mark the hottest year on record. The effects of global warming are ubiquitous: Greenland’s glacier and the Arctic ice cap are melting, ocean levels are rising, occurrences of extreme weather are increasing, including hurricanes and areas of either intense drought or flooding. Collectively, these changes and their direct consequences are an imminent danger and they directly affect other urgent issues humanity is
