Is burning fossil fuels for transportation related to global warming?
Yes, burning fossil fuels to drive transport is a major cause of the extra carbon dioxide greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.Carbon emissions from Transport (in Australia in 2009 for example), make up 14% of all emissions. The totals are:Electricity 36%Direct Fuel Combustion 15%Agriculture 15%Transport 14%Fugitive Emissions 7% (leaks, escaping gas, etc)Deforestation and Forestry 5%Industry 5%Waste 3%(link below)
How do countries cause global warming?
With all of the emissions caused by the 600,000,000 plus vehicles on the road and the emissions of various companies, all countries contribute to global warming. (See below for more about the Greenhouse Effect). In order to help reverse this process, the government of the countries should impose laws to limit these emissions and work to create a greener future for all.
What did the countries who ratified the Kyoto protocol to the United nations framework convention on climate change agree to do?
Countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. Specifically, they agreed to meet binding targets for emission reductions over a specified commitment period, typically aimed at reducing emissions by an average of 5% below 1990 levels. The protocol also established mechanisms for emissions trading, joint implementation, and the Clean Development Mechanism to help facilitate these reductions.
How can you limit global warming?
Reduce the amount of meat you eat. Livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport (cars, boats, trains, planes). See the link below.
What was temperatures for 1851 in Australia?
Australia is a big country with temperatures ranging from well below freezing to over 40 degrees So the temperature for Australia in 1851 would average out at about 19c.
What has Australia done about the Kyoto Protocol?
Australia did in fact sign the Kyoto accord, but the Liberal government delayed ratifying the protocol although Australia had negotiated extremely favourable terms under the agreement. It was ratified in December 2007 by the new Labor Government under Kevin Rudd.
What is an important source of carbon monoxide emissions that contributes to the greenhouse effect?
There is no important source of carbon monoxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon monoxide makes an insignificant contribution. If the question should read "Carbon dioxide" then see the related question below. ^He is right^ But the answer Novanet is looking for is Vehicles Stupid Novanet Grad Point answer: Vehicles
Original Kyoto protocol document?
The original Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding international treaty that aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005. The protocol set targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European Union to reduce their emissions by an average of 5.2% below 1990 levels over the period 2008-2012.
What is the short-term goal established by Kyoto Protocol?
The short-term goal of the Kyoto Protocol, established in 1997 and effective from 2005, was to commit industrialized countries and economies in transition to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, it aimed for an overall reduction of emissions by an average of 5.2% below 1990 levels during the first commitment period from 2008 to 2012. This agreement sought to combat climate change by encouraging sustainable practices and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.
What is Sydney Australia's average minimum temperature?
It depends on the season. Average minimums for Sydney vary greatly from summer to winter. See the related link below for average monthly minimums.
What is global warming and what can you do to reduce it?
Global warming is the Earth warming up because of the greenhouse gases. This process is a natural and desired process that allows life to exist on our planet. The theory of an enhanced greenhouse effect is the concept that man has added CO2 to out atmosphere to cause increased warming. The volume of gas man produces is about 0.28% of all greenhouse gases made. To stop this enhanced effect requires us to reduce our emissions to below the levels that some believe started the issue. Reducing CO2 emissions is simple. What is needed would be to reduce our standard of living to pre 1850 conditions.
What is the UN Paris Climate Agreement of 2015?
The Paris Agreement is an agreement among the countries of the world to reduce levels of greenhouse gas emissions, starting in 2020.195 countries negotiated this agreement, which was adopted on 12 December 2015.193 countries have signed the treaty.105 countries have ratified it. (November 2016)The agreement came into effect on 4 November 2016 when 55 countries, representing at least 55% of greenhouse gas emissions, ratified the agreement.
