The Kyoto Accord is an agreement ratified by almost all world countries.

Different countries have their own local policies, for example, Australia has a price on carbon emissions that is paid by the biggest polluters. They are thus encouraged to reduce their emissions.

Ways to control greenhouse effect pollution?

Reduce carbon emissions by using cleaner sources of energy such as solar or wind power. Increase energy efficiency by using energy-saving appliances and practices. Plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Implement policies and regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from industries and vehicles.


What more can be done to control global warming?

The global warming issue has scientist of around the world working around the clock to better understand how to deal with it. To the science community, it is clear that global warming is caused by the excess of gases in the atmosphere and governments have gone to a big deal of trouble trying to control gas emissions from vehicles, power producing plants and anything that produce emissions. Many investigations are being conducted to produce better and cleaner fuels to help on this problem.


What are three ways to reduce or to help minimize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

To minimise greenhouse gases we have to:Cut down our use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which emits carbon dioxide, man's biggest greenhouse gas. We burn fossil fuels in industry, transport and in the generation of electricity. So walk, cycle, carpool, bus and train rather than plane and private vehicle. Turn off lights and all devices at the wall when not in use.Plant and regrow huge forests to make up for the ones we have cut down. Vegetation, through photosynthesis, absorbs carbon dioxide and stores the carbon. Trees store carbon for hundreds of years in their roots, trunks, branches and leaves, so they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.Methane is the other main greenhouse gas we can control. Cattle belch and decomposing animal waste often produce methane. If we all became vegetarian one day a week that would cut down the world's demand for red meat.


How can waste coal be burned without polluting the air?

Waste coal can be burned in power plants with efficient pollution control technologies, such as scrubbers and baghouses, to reduce emissions of pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. Additionally, co-firing waste coal with biomass can help reduce emissions and improve combustion efficiency. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the combustion process are vital to ensure minimal air pollution.


What are the measures that can be taken to address the problem of acid rain?

Measures to address acid rain include reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from sources like power plants and vehicles, installing pollution control technologies, promoting cleaner energy sources like renewable energy, and implementing international agreements to address transboundary pollution. These efforts can help mitigate the environmental and health impacts of acid rain.

What happens to air when oil is processed and burned?

When oil is processed and burned, it releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants into the air. These emissions can contribute to air pollution, greenhouse gas accumulation, and climate change. It is important to control and reduce these emissions through proper regulation and technological advancements.

How does carbon trading work?

Carbon trading is part of a carbon pricing mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by industry. Each year, the government decides on the total amount of greenhouse gases it will allow industries to emit from all activities. Each business that is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions is allowed to buy (or is granted free) an annual quota of permits to produce greenhouse gases, so that all such permits equal the national target for the year. If the business modifies its processes such as to reduce its greenhouse emissions, it can sell its unwanted permits to the highest bidder. If another business wants to expand and exceed the limit imposed by its own quota, it can buy permits from another business. Thus, there is an incentive for a business to reduce its emissions so that it can sell its permits at a profit, and so that it does not have to pay an increasingly high price for permits on the secondary market. By this means, the government can control, then reduce, the total greenhouse gases produced in the state or nation. It can gradually reduce this limit in line with the long-term national target.
