- Russia's emissions dropped rapidly in the early 90s due to an economic collapse with the fall of the USSR.
- France's emissions dropped in the 70s-80s as it switched to nuclear power after the Arab oil embargo.
- Britain's emissions dropped in the 80s-90s as it switched from coal to gas for economic reasons and because of the miners' strikes as well as to cut smog.
- No countries have managed to cut emissions as a result of a deliberate policy to combat climate change.
There is also a strong argument that Western countries where emissions have fallen or grown slowly (especially Britain and the US) have really been exporting their emissions with their manufacturing industries to developing countries like China, where emissions have been rising fast.
What else can I help you with?
How do plants increase global warming?
Plants don't increase global warming. In fact, they do the opposite.Plants, trees and all vegetation reduce the effect of global warming by removing from the atmosphere these gases like carbon dioxide and storing the carbon in their trunks and branches. They help to reduce global warming.
What does mitigate global warming mean?
Mitigate means to soften or make easier, so with global warming it means to reduce it. The way, of course, to reduce global warming is to plant billions of trees and to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What are three effective strategies to combat global warming and reduce its impact on the environment?
Three effective strategies to combat global warming and reduce its impact on the environment are transitioning to renewable energy sources, promoting energy efficiency and conservation practices, and implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Global warming is responsible for human beings?
Global warming is caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and other climate impacts. It is important for humans to take action to reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the effects of global warming to protect the planet and future generations.
Is not reusing the cause of global warming?
Reusing items can actually help reduce global warming by decreasing the need for new production, which typically involves energy-intensive processes that emit greenhouse gases. By reusing items, we can reduce the overall carbon footprint associated with producing new products.
How do rain barrels reduce global warming?
They do not have any affect on global warming.
What are the R's related to global warming?
There are 3 R's of global warming. These are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
What is the chance of reducing global warming?
The future is looking grim. Many people think we have left it too late to do much about global warming. Very few countries have made serious attempts to reduce their emissions.
Which activities will not reduce global warming?
Driving a large car, indeed any car, will not reduce global warming, unless it's powered by renewable electricity.Leaving your computer running all night will not reduce global warming.Building a coal-fired power plant with no way of capturing carbon dioxide emissions will not reduce global warming.
Does recycling paper reduce global warming?
i know that recycling paper could reduce pollution not global warming but the important thing is that it could save the planet
What is the Kyoto protocol and will it help decrease global warming?
The Kyoto protocol is an agreement by all the countries of the world to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide by various limits. All the countries signed, but the US refused to ratify the treaty. It will help decrease global warming, especially if all countries do what they have signed up to do.
What steps have been taken to reduce global warming?
World governments agree that placing a price on carbon emissions is the most effective step that can be taken to reduce global warming. Some progress has been made, but in many countries there is not the political will needed to contribute effectively to averting disaster.There has been a lot more progress at a local level, with individuals doing their bit to reduce global warming, by reducing their electricity consumption and motor vehicle usage.AnswerThe governments have signed a Kyoto agreement to help stop global warming.
What are two things you can reduce?
pollution and Global Warming
What is the name of the agreement signed to reduce global warming?
The Kyoto Protocol (also called Kyoto Accord) is an agreement signed by 193 nations to help reduce global warming.
What are the strategies to protect the polar regions?
reduce global warming. because of the heat caused by global warming the polar regions are melting.
What are some ways to reduce and adapt to global warming?
We can reduce global warming by:Changing from fossil fuel energy to renewable energyPlanting billions of trees.Until this happens we can all: Seriously reduce our use of electricity and petroleum.Hardly anyone will be able to adapt to increased global warming. People in developing countries will suffer most from:Famine and crop failure.Rising sea levels, permanent flooding of coastal lands and cities.Millions of climate refugees seeking better places to live.
Does the use of geothermal energy reduce global warming?
Yes, it can. Geothermal Energy will reduce man's dependence on Fossil Fuels, which create carbon dioxide, indirectly reducing global warming.
