(Jaworowski). While the UVA and UVB rays of sunlight continue to penetrate the ozone layer of the Earth, studies have shown that the amount of sunlight decreases at a rate of three percent every year and it is steadily becoming a darker planet (Kyoto Protocol). This is a problem because sunlight provides humans with Vitamin D which is essential for the body and without sunlight humans will be forced to find alternatives. Also, global warming can possibly lead to a mass extinction of animals and…

In order to have a better understanding of Global Warming it is crucial to have a clear perspective of how it is affecting society and our planet today. Rainstorms, droughts, record high temperatures, the significant melting of ice glaciers and lastly the rising of sea levels are just some effects that have become increasingly prevailing in our day to day lives. Heat waves amongst precipitation under global warming are major threats to human and animal health and safety. The ongoing days of…

Even after signing this by most of the countries the most of the countries were not able to reduce their pollution level and this lead to change in climate change.

Historically, there have been several conventions, as the Kyoto Protocol, in order to address this problem. However, only until the Paris Agreement, countries have committed to take actions to mitigate this issue. In fact, Canada did not demonstrate any interest in the subject, but rather the provinces took the initiative and started to use regulations to reduce CO2 emissions. By 2015, Canada has…

The US asserted itself as one of the largest economic and military powers by refusing the Kyoto Protocol without fear of sanction from other states. While the Protocol was eventually ratified after Russia’s agreement in 2005, a neorealist would argue that the concessions given to other members to continue their involvement damaged the Protocol’s ability to bring about change.…

Intro: Consider a math final in a stressful period in high school students’ careers. Due to some freak coincidence, every student in a class has forgotten their pencil--and, every student knows that the more pencils they have, the more they work they can write down for partial credit. A pile of used mechanical pencils sits unregulated in a corner. One student, Dylan, realizes that he can take one of those pencils and get a better grade than others in the class. In fact, he can take as many as he…

Environmental Institutions Success and Failures Globalization has been beneficial for many countries; there has been a bigger flow of information between countries, cultures are intermingling, and there is now a global market for companies and consumers who can access products from different countries. However, globalization has also created issues as well. One issue I will be focusing on is the environmental impact of globalization. “Industry, mass consumption and the increased energy needs of…

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…
