Greenhouse gas

"stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."[1] The Protocol was initially adopted on 11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan and entered into force on 16 February 2005. As of November 2009, 187 states have signed and ratified the protocol.[2] Under the Protocol, 37 industrialized countries (called "Annex I countries") commit themselves to a reduction of four greenhouse gases (GHG) (carbon

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century. The observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which result from human activities for example deforestation. How global warming is impacting Polar Bear: The chief threat to the polar bear is the loss of its sea ice habitat due to global warming. As suggested by its specific scientific

strategy for responding to the carbon emission and the replacement of the declining production from North sea oil and gas. The Climate change act 2008 was a big step: The UK has passed legislation which introduces the world’s first long-term legally binding framework to tackle the dangers of climate change. A legally binding target of at least an 80 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, to be achieved through action in the UK and abroad, with also a reduction in emissions of at least

defined as the increase of the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. According to scientists, this increase is due to the greenhouse gas emissions, mainly coming from human activities. Facing this global warming issue, the Kyoto protocol was created in 1997 in Japan. This treaty is aimed to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. It is also an attempt to conciliate

convention have met annually from 1995 in Conferences of the Parties (COP) to assess progress in dealing with climate change. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was concluded and established legally binding obligations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) was established at the first Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in August 1995 to provide the COP

favourable context to the emergence of new fuels Several reasons explain the development of biofuel research • The rising oil prices (mainly caused by instability in the Middle East), • The concerns about a potential peak of oil prices • The greenhouse gas emissions (causing global warming and climate change) • The rural development interests Indeed, the exhaustion of the oil reserves that has increased since a score of years leads governments to set up policies supporting alternative energy

which is good for the environment. 6° Carbon dioxide (CO2), is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide fluctuate slightly with the change of the seasons, driven primarily by seasonal plant growth in the Northern Hemisphere. Concentrations of carbon dioxide fall during the northern spring and summer as plants consume the gas, and rise during the northern autumn and winter as plants go dormant, die

consequence is the reduction of pollution and the emission of greenhouse gas emissions. This also allows the reduction of consumption of non renewable energy such as oil. The bus is the mode of transportation less polluting among those who use the fuel. A bus emits when it is half full, 40g CO2 per passenger kilometer. In urban areas, each bus is 40 to 50 fewer cars on our roads. The bus is the perfect choice to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and contribute to improving air quality and environment

The Kyoto agreement was adopted on december 1997 in Kyoto,Japan. Its aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to fight against the global warming .Because its need at least 55 countries that represent 55% of the emissions of carbon dioxide it entered into force on 2005. For example between 2008 and 2012 the eropean union has to reduce her
