Why are governments trying to reduce the output of greenhouse gases?

∙ 13y ago
The industrial release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) has been linked to the retention of heat in the atmosphere, known as "global warming." By reducing the amount released, they hope to reduce the detrimental long-term effects of this heating, including higher sea levels, increased storm activity, and altered precipitation patterns.

What actions are now being taken to try to slow down or prevent global warming?
Governments are trying, through education or legislation, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industry. Schools are educating pupils about global warming and what everyone can do to help. Websites encourage people to broaden their knowledge so they can act in the best interests of the planet.
When why and how did the taking of aboriginal children through the 'stolen generation' stop?
== == It ended in 1969 because Australians gradually became ashamed of what the previous governments had been trying to do.

How has the government been trying to prevent ozone depletion?
The government has done many things to save ozone. Banning CFC's, depleting CFC's etc.
How is the inside of a car on a sunny day related to the greenhouse effect?
Heat gets transferred from the window of the car into it. There is so much heat coming in that there is no way the car can keep up with the heat coming in. Trapping the heat. Same thing happens with the green house effect.A:The way a greenhouse works is that the transparent glass is transparent to the wavelengths of the sunlight coming through it, but is not very transparent to the wavelengths of energy trying to radiate back through it. Since we do not see in those wavelengths, the glass looks transparent to us. That is true of a greenhouse where plants are being grown as well as a car with its glass windows. The sunlight coming through the windows pours through easily, but the hot interior of the car radiates the energy back out at a different wavelength where the glass is not transparent. Similarly the greenhouse effect keeps the sun's heat in our atmosphere, preventing it radiating out into space.
Why are many governments trying to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels?
Many governments, particularly in the European Union, are trying to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels in order to slow global warming and cliimate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases contribute to rapid increases in average global temperatures.

Why is the government trying to reduce the amount of electricity you use?
I think the reason for this is to reduce the earth's carbon footprint.A:Yes, most electricity is generated by burning fossils fuels, mainly coal. This releases a lot of extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere where it is gradually building up, absorbing the sun's heat, and warming the planet, too much. So if we all use a bit less electricity it will reduce the carbon footprint of our country. All countries are in a kind of race to reduce their carbon emissions. They don't all want to take hard steps, but if people reduce by themselves the governments will be happy (a bit!).
Why are car manufacturers trying to reduce their carbon footprint?
because it upsets environmentalists and they want to appear like they care about the planet, this may also make people want to buy their cars because they think the company is trying to help the planet. Many countries have passed laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like the carbon dioxide released when petrol is burnt. Cars have to reduce their emissions or they can not be sold.
What is crime prevention?
Crime prevention is the attempt to reduce victimization and to deter crime and criminals. It is applied specifically to efforts made by governments to reduce crime, enforce the law, and maintain criminal justice.
Are the Builderburgs trying to control world governments?
yes
Why are governments trying to reduce adolescents drinking alcohol?
Because it is unhealthy for them to do it, and therefore illegal for them to possess or use it because their decision-making skills are insufficient to cope with its effects. (MANY adults suffer from this same failing).
Why is atmospheric carbon dioxide being measured?
Carbon dioxide is causing global warming and climate change. Countries are trying to reduce their emissions of this greenhouse gas. We measure CO2 levels to see if our preventative measures are having any effect.
How are governments and concerned citizens trying to find solutions?
Solutions to what?
What is the correlation of CO2 and temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.
What is a sentence for the word reduce?
I am trying to reduce the number of unanswered questions in this category. Now that I finally recognize that I am overweight, it is important to reduce my caloric intake. How can I reduce my capital outflow?
What is the UK trying to reduce?
