Developing story
The MP has contributed much more to climate mitigation than expected from Kyoto
From now on the Climate benefit would be even more multyplying
MDG Report 2008
“……….This quantitative success in the protection of the ozone layer has also achieved important climate benefits because many ozone depleting substances controlled under the Protocol are also potent greenhouse gases. It is estimated that, without the worldwide effort to protect the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect of global ODS emissions would have equalled carbon dioxide emissions…….”
