been severely impacted by the country’s emissions. According to ActiveUKChina, 35% of areas in China have been damaged due to acid rain. 40% of the rivers in China have been polluted, and 25% of people living in China have been drinking contaminated water. (ActiveUKchina.com) iv) Scary enough, we are far behind China in the worlds list of the largest emitters of CO2. According to Worlds Research Institute we are right behind them in the scale of carbon emissions. While we are not to their…

reduce 37% of its carbon emission until 2030 as a member of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In fact, Korea disgraced because it made the highest carbon emission increase rate, 110.8%, among OECD countries in 2013 compare to 1990. Japan is practicing Tax for Climate Change Mitigation from Oct 2012, and has a duty to reduce greenhouse gases by international law. Therefore, the two countries are internationally responsible for carbon emission. At the same time,…

exist. Climate change is bad for the earth because of excess amounts of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. Earth 's” temperature can only continue to increase..” by continuing to contribute to excess greenhouse gas emission” (Polar Bear and Climate Change 2). While some greenhouse emissions are necessary in order to maintain life here on earth, too much carbon in the air will cause living things to slowly die off. Finley…

In my opinion, the carbon tax is the best option for not only our nation, but for the whole world to reach our goal to lower our carbon emissions. The way the carbon tax method functions is that it proposes a tax to companies or businesses that produce oil, coal, and etc. These companies produce vast quantities of carbon, which is why they are the ones being taxed for polluting our atmosphere…

websites that offered a CO2 calculator for my house hold they all accounted for one year’s worth of CO2 emissions but they certain sites went more in-depth than others not just asking about my travel whether by car plane or public transit but also including electricity expenses food and other goods and services. The first website I dove into was nature.org which gave me an estimated yearly CO2 emission of 25 metric tons of CO2 which was the highest the second, website was carbonfootprint.com and…

species diversity and distribution, reduced access to food, and prevalence of diseases. Reduction in winter road season often required food and fuel to be flown into these regions, leading to increased cost of food and fuel. The Northern communities emission of CO2 is also high due to their reliance on diesel oil. Health Impacts Warming of the planet Earth caused by the excessive accumulation of greenhouse gases presents both environmental and health effects. Some of the adverse…

healthy post-2020 climate change target in line with keeping global warming below 2°C that is ambitious and achievable. As part of New Zealand’s contribution to the universal climate change agreement, an economy-wide target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This type of commitment will require robust policies and coordinated action across the integrated sectors as determined by decisions of the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties on reporting…

The letter essentially asked for congress to back down and allow the Enviornmental protection agency to do what is needed of them to regulate global warming emissions to ensure a better future. The letter included what The Environmental Protection agency has done in the past to help combat pollution, and what they could do in the future to continue to further benefit the environment. Scientist urged congress to…

In his article, Jack Minz contends that current government policies of taxation are ineffective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. He begins by discussing the failure of the Canadian government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by six percent between 1990 and 2012, as promised during the 1997 Kyoto protocol. At the time this article was written, with policies of tax giveaways and subsidies failing, the Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff promised a system of carbon taxation if elected.…

also means they won’t be making their hundreds of billions of dollars annually. We have to look past these corporations towards bettering our planet. To focus this idea more, let’s look at one question: In what ways are automobile transportation emissions affecting our environment and what new technologies are being invented and used to help solve this environmental…
