This can be seen in the much-cited suggestion that cities account for 80 per cent of all GHG emissions worldwide. Actually‚ only around 35 per cent of the world’s GHG emissions are emitted within city boundaries‚ although city populations account for a higher proportion if emissions are allocated to consumers. In other instances‚ it seems to be based on an assumption that urbanization will bring higher GHG emissions‚ the assumption that per capita emissions in urban areas are higher than those in

gas (GHG) pollution from Canada’s oilsands is growing rapidly‚ and existing climate policies are too weak to limit this growth • • • • Oilsands development is the fastest growing source of GHG pollution in Canada. In the last two decades‚ oilsands emissions have more than doubled. Government forecasts predict annual GHG emissions from oilsands will double again from 2009 to 2020 with current policies and practices; the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers forecasts that GHG emissions

Kyoto Protocol The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that aims at reduction of Green House Gases (GHGs) and others like CFCs. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto‚ Japan‚ on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. Currently‚ there are 192 Parties (191 States and 1 regional economic integration organization) to the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC. [pic] Participation in the Kyoto Protocol‚ where

Ever since the advent of industrialization‚ there has been an increase in the emission of several greenhouse gases (GHG) mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide emissions account for 80% of global warming of GHG emission‚ as compared with 57% in the 1980s (Lashof & Ahuja‚ 1990). Panwar‚ Kaushik & Kothari (2011) also states that excessive fossil fuel consumption will have adverse impacts on the environment‚ and increase threat of global climate change. Fortunately‚ more and

Introduction - The consensus among scientists world-wide that global climate instability may occur if the current rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not reduced is strong enough for taken national and international actions. This view has been confirmed by United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC‚1992‚2008‚2009)‚ and they have called for rapid and

TOPIC 6: GLOBAL WARMING GHG gases: Carbon dioxide Water vapor Methane Function: they allow short wavelengths of radiation to pass through the Earth‚ but they trap the longer wavelengths that are radiated from the earth. (Greenhouse effect) Greenhouse effect The GHGs allow short wavelengths of radiation to pass thought the Earth’s surface. It regulates the Earth’s temperature keeping conditions warmer than without the effect and more hospitable to life. Examples of greenhouse gases

surface temperature of the earth is at a steady rise. The cause of this detrimental occurrence is attributed to the developing emission of greenhouse gases in the world’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The four main gases that make up the GHG are carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and fluorinated gases. The largest reason for the rise of these gases is the goings-on of human beings. The livestock industry is the largest of these activities
