C. Global warming and plants Global warming has direct impact on plants and this is something that will be passed on to human beings and animals. Because of elevated carbon dioxide levels plants normally produce chemicals that help in breaking dow Continue Reading...
It was hoped in the past there would be laws and regulations in place that required mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases that were put into the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol would have seen to this, but the U.S. rejected it. It still remains to Continue Reading...

" Monitoring and enforcing a [CO.sub.2] treaty would be very difficult, if not impossible. Reductions in [CO.sub.2] emissions by rich countries could be negated by increased [CO.sub.2] emissions in fast-growing developing countries (Udall, 1990)." Continue Reading...
Global Warming: Fact Rather Than Fiction The focus of this paper is on global warming and its causes. In the introduction phase, we have given a brief overview of the problem alongside a brief look at the details of the problem itself. It is mention Continue Reading...
Warmer temperatures mean more energy in the climate system 1. Warmer oceans and air current mean more violent and frequent hurricanes 2. More frequent and harsher rainstorms may cause flooding B. Overall changes to weather patterns could be devas Continue Reading...
If Japan and other countries are more sufficient in their acts of globalization, they can help with the greenhouse effect from KYOTO protocol. The Kyoto protocal was signed in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. In this protocol, industrialised countries commite Continue Reading...
Switching to solar heating would make a profound change, for heating and hot water can be heated freely and cleanly from the sun. By switching to energy efficient heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration, the greatest power users, consumers could Continue Reading...
