Did you know that the earth's climate is gradually changing due to human beings?
             We take full responsibility to this accusation due to our day to day activities. These
             activities alter the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of
             greenhouse gases. These such gases primarily include carbon dioxide, methane, and
             nitrous oxide. Our dependency on fossil fuels for energy plays a huge role on our
             planet's fate. The coasts of all countries could become immersed underwater if the
             polar icecaps were to melt, due to the greenhouse effect..... largely, due to us.
             So what will we, as habitants of this planet, do to prevent this catastrophe?
             In 1992, a few nations came together to sign the Untied Nations Framework
             Convention on Climate Change, otherwise known as the UNFCCC. These
             industrialized nations agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by the year
             2000. However, such leading nations like the United States and Japan simply could
             On December 11, 1997, negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC
             were completed. It committed the industrialized nations to specified reductions on
             the emission of six greenhouse gases. The United States had to reduce our
             greenhouse gases by 7% below the 1990 levels between the years 2008-2012. The
             US, only counting for 2 1/2% of the world's population, has made use of 25% of
             While this agreement not only lowered the developed nation's emission of
             greenhouse gases, plus hurting these nation's economies, the deal basically left the
             "developing' nations completely out of it. True, these nations did not have the
             technology and other luxuries that developed nations possessed; but sooner or later
             these developing nations will become 'developed', thus contributing to the global
             warming problem. And here we go all over again.
