California Wildfires: A Burning Problem California, as of recent decades, has a warming relationship with wildfires. The state has seen an increase in wildfires which some believe to be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Climate change is expected to result in more variable weather patterns that are likely to lead to longer and more severe droughts (“Climate change”, 2016). Generally in late spring through autumn California has a dry, windy, and frequently hot climate. At times…

The Central Valley has played an important role in California being the strongest economic state in the country. The Central Valley, which population centers comprise of Fresno, Clovis, Modesto, and Visalia, have contributed substantially to California’s economy by being one of its leading agricultural producers. In contrast to its city-orientated “brother” in south California, or the “Bay area,” the Central Valley does not typically have busy streets, tall buildings, sandy beaches, and…

Convention on Climate Change that commits the signee reduce greenhouse gases that are causing global warming. The protocol was developed as to work from the top downwards in a fashion that every country that signs must limit their production of carbon emissions. Leaving new loop holes as time progressed and with new technologies became more irrelevant and easier to move around. The prisoner’s dilemma can be seen throughout this protocol as countries blame other countries to get themselves…

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. June 2009 through the clean energy and Security Act provisions, from 2020 onwards United States from failed to take measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases national iron and steel,…

at risk. Something must be done to slow this process. This is why doing nothing to control carbon emissions is not an option. Greenhouse gas emissions are caused by many things. The largest portion of emissions comes from energy production, transportation and industries. Other contributors include agriculture and land use. There are several gases that are considered to be greenhouse gas emissions. They include Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Hydrofluorocarbons are the most common.…

The phenomenon of Global Warming, the gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere due to emissions of greenhouse gases associated with human industrialization activities is a major concern for the world community. Most nations are in agreement that addressing greenhouse gas emissions as a way to contain Global Warming and its disastrous consequences is imperative, yet still; the world community has yet to form a comprehensive policy that gives each individual country reasonable standards which to…

Firstly, and most critical, our earth’s water systems are gradually, but increasingly, off balance. Emissions from heat-trapping gases resulting from human activity, especially from the use and burning of fossil fuels for the functioning in everyday living, is causing drastic warmth in temperature, dangerously heating up the atmosphere. This has resulted…

ranging from rising sea levels, shrinking mountain glaciers to global warming. In the past, the government of Canada developed plans to meet Kyoto targets, and the plan included mandatory emission reduction for factories and raise funds to invest in projections that could effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the government of Cananda Canada’s current plan to reduce greenhouse gases is insufficient. The report from Environment Canada shows that Canada is failing to achieve…

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…

resources provided to obtain greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. Recognizing the impacts and threats of global climate change, governments and other entities have met annually at the Conference of the Parties (COP) of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since 1995. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997, in which 36 industrialized countries (called the Annex B countries) committed collectively to reduce emissions of six main GHG by an average of 5% against the…
