Does China believe in global warming?

Answer 1

china has the larhest population throughout the world, and therefore, hundreds of thousands of vehichles are being driven every single day.they have even made a law in china that you have to have even and odd number plate days. if your number plate finishes on a even number, monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Sunday are the only days you can drive, and if it ends on an odd number, tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays, are the only days you can drive, however because one number has more days one week than the other, the days swap over each week. the polution from the petrol we put in our cars is creating greenhouse gasses. these gasses are surrounding the earth, and cannot get out of our ozone layer. he ozone layer is the line of protection arround the earth. it stops so much light from the sun getting through. it is a natural thing, and still very useful as it prevents the hole earth burning.temperatures right around the earth would be boiling even in winter. because it stops dangerous chemicles, and lots of light, from coming through, it also stops the greenhouse gasses from getting out. these greenhouse gasses from the petrol, are making the earth warmer, and melting ice caps in Antarctica and the arctic. these melt down and breaak off the icey land at the north and south pole. as there is more water in the ocean one they melt, sea levels willl rise, and places like Venice, shanghai, New York, and thousands of towns and countries on the coast , will flood right up to the roofs of the buildings. it will be an absolute disaster, and the worst event that has happened to the earth ever, and if we survive it, probably the worst that will happen ever. unless everyone around the world decides to make a change, and do simple things like: turn offf the lights when you don't need them, only have 1 light on if you do need them, walk or ride scooters, skateboards or push bikes, to stop the polution coming from cars, and be as environmentaly friendly as you can. my name is ben Robinson, and if you would like to ask me any more questions about anything, my email is: ben_fongpay@hotmail.com i am only 11, but i answered this question off the top of my head, so im sure i can answer any other questions you have. thankyou for reading my answer.

Answer 2

As a nation, China cares about global warming because it is one of the countries that face real risks as a result of global warming.

Some important urban areas, along with much of China's most productive land, are in low-lying areas such as the Yangze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, and these risk inundation as a result of sea level rises associated with global warming.

China is, on balance, self-sufficient in food production, but faces real risks if food production continues to be disrupted by both drought and flood. Major storm events such as typhoons are also a concern for the country's leadership.

Although, as a developing nation, China is exempt from any targets under the Kyoto Protocol, it is making real progress in achieving carbon emission savings and its achievements to date have been compared favourably with those of developed countries.

Answer 3

Although China, as a developing nation, was excluded from mandatory targets in the Kyoto Protocol, the country has made substantial progress towards reducing the growth in its greenhouse gas emissions. The government has mandated the phasing out of older and more inefficient electricity generators.

As a proportion of GDP, China was found to be mid-range in its allocation of resources to abatement policies in the electricity generation sector, along with Australia and the United States. China is also considering trialling a pilot ETS in some provinces as part of its 12th Five Year Plan.

Clearly, China takes climate change seriously.

Answer 4

Although, as a developing nation, China is exempt from any targets under the Kyoto Protocol, it is making real progress in achieving carbon emission savings and its achievements to date have been compared favourably with those of developed countries. Some of the programs planned or already implemented:

• We may disagree with nuclear energy, but China is planning a rapid deployment of additional nuclear power stations;
• Several major hydro-electric works, including the mammoth Three Gorges project which dwarfs anything else in the world;
• Large wind farms, even in the sea off Shanghai;
• A nation-wide network of efficient, high speed rail, to minimise the use of cars for long distance travel;
• A nation-wide network of very-fast rail under construction, which will effectively compete with internal air travel and, again, motor vehicle transport; this will become the largest very-fast rail system in the world;
• The large cities, and increasingly medium-sized cities of China, have constructed efficient metro-style electric rail services to minimise the attractiveness of motor vehicle transport for commuting;
• Inefficient coal-fired power stations being phased out;
• Natural gas power stations being installed;
• Increased taxes on larger cars to encourage smaller vehicles;
• Electric bicycles encouraged as the preferred mode of personal transport, and in widespread use;
• Every city has a network of dedicated cycleways to encourage travel by bicycle and electric bicycle;
• A carbon price planned for 2011.

Answer 5

China has a huge developing population that is now wanting to improve its lifestyle. This includes cars, televisions and refrigerators that are all dependent on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). China is only beginning to curtail its emissions.

Answer 6

China emits the most greenhouse gases because it burns more fossil fuel than any other country in the world. Next comes the United States.
