Agreements Climate and Global Warming
With the approaching deadline for compliance with the Kyoto Protocol , which
expires in 2012 , tensions between the " big " nations begin to grow further .
According to this document , the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions would
be 8 % for the European Union countries , 7 % to the United States and 6 % for
Japan Just to say no , result was obtained .
However , the maximization of environmental problems is notorious , and in this
context the international agreements are extremely important in the search for
effective solutions .
This will be held between 7 and December 18, the Summit on Climate Change
in Copenhagen , capital of Denmark . The Danish Prime Minister , Lars Lokke
Rasmussen , invited , through a formal letter , 191 member countries of the
United Nations ( UN) including Denmark , to attend the summit .
Until December 2 , we confirmed the presence of 98 heads of state and
government , including : Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva , the
president of the United States , Barack Obama , the Chinese prime minister ,
Wen Jiabao , and German Chancellor Angela Merkel .
The Chinese Prime Minister , Wen Jiabao , has made explicit its position ,
stating that China will not reduce its production to reduce the emission of gases
that cause the greenhouse effect . Barack Obama , meanwhile , has found
great resistance in the U.S. Congress to approve legislation that would reduce
greenhouse gas emissions . Recalling that China and the United States are the
largest emitters of greenhouse gases on the planet .
What is expected from the summit on climate change are proposed with
concrete and immediate results , because the Earth can no longer wait for the
economic development of countries .

Denmark , a country that will host the UN Conference on climate change in
December , suggested that during the meeting establish a new date for the
greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and, therefore , reduce the
environmental impact the planet faces today.
According to the Minister of Mines and Energy Danish , Connie Hedegaard ,
during the Copenhagen conference , should be set a deadline so that , finally, a
complete text of the agreement is signed by the signatory countries . With the
progressive increase of global warming , the situation of the planet is only
getting worse .
thaw
Each year , the polar ice caps melt even more . Anyone who watched The Day
After Tomorrow or 2012 and thought that was an illusion too , can begin to
rethink their ecological footprint , because of the way the world goes , mankind
will have no end. It is true that Roland Emmerich (also director of the movie
Independence Day ) likes a good old apocalypse.
But is that the planet is no longer condemned to a late style ?
Climate change begin to be palpable and recent discoveries of science only
come to confirm that it was apocalyptic global warming has generated . To get
an idea , only in the late summer of last year , more than 1 million square miles
of water thawed at the North Pole - this area is about one -fifth of the Amazon
rainforest . It is a fact that all these changes have already been provided , but
not believed could happen so fast .
Last year , newspapers around the world announced the results of studies that
2500 climate experts made about global warming . The result was consensus
among all , the temperature of the globe should rise by between 1.1 C and 2.9
C by the year 2010.

The worst is that there's ways around warming in the world . To get an idea ,
even if by a miracle the carbon dioxide and other gases that contribute to the
greenhouse effect would no longer be released into the atmosphere , global
temperatures would still rise. And the disasters caused by heating are real !
Remember Hurricane Katrina , which hit the southeast coast of the United
States in 2005 ? Reminiscent of another hurricane named Rita , days later ,
devastated the Gulf of Mexico , causing losses billionaires ? Remember the
drought in the Amazon River basin that plagued Brazil in the same year ,
revealing only a desert full of dead fish and abandoned boats ?
