Are there any laws about global warming?

Answer 1

Scientific Laws:

• Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat.
• Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
• Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years.

States' and countries' laws:

• Various Clean Air Acts specify how much pollution is allowed.
• Carbon trading schemes aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
• Carbon emissions are taxed.

Answer 2

Laws can only control people and businesses. The law is not equipped to control the weather and the environment.

There is the Kyoto Protocol which adopted in 1997 where countries who signed the protocol have committed to reducing greenhouse gases they produce.

Answer 3

• There are agreements, like the Kyoto Agreement, where countries agreed to reduce their carbon emissions by certain amounts.
• There are laws in different countries that aim to reduce the causes or the effects of climate change, for example,
  • vehicle emissions
  • factory emissions
  • Support for renewable energy

Answer 4

Several international agreements and protocols have been introduced to address global warming, such as the Paris Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These agreements aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global temperature rise to mitigate the effects of climate change. Additionally, some countries have implemented domestic laws and regulations to combat global warming within their own territories.
