Bilal Bourouf 260500473 Assignment 2 Geog200 My essay on Kyoto protocol Introduction: Greenhouse gases are primarily made of water vapor and other elements such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide [1]. This gas is emitted mostly by energy plants, transportation vehicles and deforestation. In a huge amount, it acts like a thermal blanket for the Earth conserving the heat which leads to important environmental problems such as global warming [2]. These gases are generated by all…
The Kyoto Protocol was designed to fight the global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming is defined as the increase of the earth’s average surface temperatures due to the greenhouse effect, which acts to trap heat that would have otherwise escaped from earth. The Kyoto Protocol is able to reduce global warming by forcing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, therefore reducing the greenhouse effect. The initial goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to reduce worldwide…
Have you ever felt that the weather is getting warmer over the years? Have you ever been in a situation where you are enjoying a very sunny day and all of a sudden you are forced to look for shelter because of the sudden drizzle or downpour? Have you ever thought what caused all of these changes to our climate? Remember a time when you actually stopped to question the origins of these sprouting anomalies around you.

When discussing the environment creates a lot of controversy as there are many different opinions on how the environment should be regulated. Proposals on how to regulate and protect the environment have proved to be unsuccessful up to this point as both political parties cannot agree on regulations that suites all parties involved. The United States needs to take responsibility and be the first country to enact a national policy that will significantly reduce emissions because by doing so will…
1.First, the "carbon tariff" The concept of "carbon tariff" most early by former French President Jacques Chirac put forward is that if a country's production of the product does not reach the standard set by the importing country in energy saving and emission reduction, will be levied tariffs. In 2009 France proposed in 2010 will to foreign imports impose a "carbon tariff", the tariff rate will be for per ton of carbon dioxide emissions charge Euro 17, later also will be gradually increasing…

1) Eavesdropping: It can be defined as secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent. Here an attacker can choose to passively eavesdrop on the network communication and steal the data. Through passive eavesdropping attackers apparently eliminate their presence in the network and make such attacks difficult to detect. The goal of such an attack is to violate the confidentiality of the communications by intercepting the network and sniffing or listening to…
Many laws have been placed by governments around the world such as the Kyoto protocol and Cap-and-Trade. These acts have been placed so scientists can measure just how much each country is affecting the world and how imminent the threat is to life on Earth. People all over the world have now realized the problems facing the world…
international community initiative includes drafting measures to achieve the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (Kyoto Protocol) in order to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and to prevent dangerous interference with the climate. The article written by Scott Barrett and Robert Stavins analysis the effectiveness of such international protocol while proposing…
