A treaty has been introduced to protect Antarctica. many countries have signed up and it is now against the law to break this treaty.
Rules of treaty:
The following measures have been taken :
1) Restrictions on flights flying overhead : A single long-haul return flight, say from the UK to Australia, South America or the Far East can release about as much CO2 as driving 15,000 miles in a fairly standard 1.6L car .
2) Ban on vehicles ( SUV'S ) : Especially to ones that don't comply with required emission norms.
3) Creating general public awareness of global warming and it's consequences
4) Ban in the use of hydrfluorocarbond CFC/ HFC / HCFC in gadgets, especially refrigerators.
