ABSTRACT We are in debt to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and other green house gases for our presence on earth. As they help in stabilizing temperatures to levels sustainable for organic life – by what is known as green house effect. In modern times burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas combined with fast deforestation has led to unprecedented level of green house gas emission. Here came in to existence the concept of Carbon Emission Trading developed during the Kyoto Protocol in 1997

thousand people fall victim to carbon monoxide poisoning and over one thousand five hundred die per year of this gas so deadly‚ it is referred to as the "silent killer"("What Is Carbon Monoxide?"). Carbon monoxide‚ or CO for short‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ tasteless gas that is produced during incomplete combustion of fuel and it’s ability to do harm resides within the lack of knowledge and understanding of this gas by society. To remain safe from carbon monoxide poisoning‚ one must comprehend

Since carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is accumulating rapidly because of burning fossil fuel‚ coal‚ oil and natural gas for power generation‚ transportation‚ industrial and domestic uses‚ our earth has been facing global warming‚ sea level rising‚ flooding and other adverse changes which damage to our ecosystem. To address this challenge‚ we need to find out other alternative ways that do not produce carbon dioxide or that reduce the release of enormous amount of carbon dioxide gases

Damage of the environment is an inevitable consequence of worldwide improvements in the standard of living. Discuss. Man has been endowed with reason‚ with the power to create‚ so that he can add to what he has been given. But up to now he hasn’t been a creator‚ only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing‚ rivers dry up‚ wild life has become extinct‚ the climate is ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day !"
