Introduction

Humanity has no experience of living in the climatic conditions which are being formed within the next few decades. This event is certainly a landmark character. “Climate change has long recognized the crucial factor in history and even the subject of politics - (see, for example, the history surrounding the Kyoto Protocol). On the other hand, when faced with great phenomena of nature to man and mankind has to make allowances for the scale: human life and human potential are very small in stravneni with the processes occurring in the physical world (see, for example, the catastrophe in Asia).

Acknowledging the reality of global warming in the 90s, and human responsibility in such profligacy, political leaders have initiated a policy of fight against global warming. The Kyoto Protocol, which comes into force in February 2005, is the most current example of a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This policy is not without dividing the countries, reluctant to question their model of growth, and the South worried about their development projects.

By the late 1970s, the debate on environmental issues was no longer confined solely to environmental circles. The environment became a concern of the States. But it was not until 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio, they have finally recognized the need to act within a "global partnership" Need for greater, in the case of climate change, unlike some environmental problems that plague across a region or a country, this phenomenon poses a global threat the planet. After the time of awareness, the adoption of the Framework Convention on Climate Change in Rio in 1992 and the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 mark the beginning of a new phase which is a concerted policy between states. This policy does not go smoothly because it calls into question the choice of development in North and South in particular and raise the critical issue of energy.

The Kyoto Protocol is the remarkable landmark. It is first and only compulsory global accord that places aims to decrease greenhouse gases emission that causes weather transformation or climate change.

The precautions to combat the climate change which engage using fewer energy that would perk up public health, slash energy costs and make new jobs available. Kyoto and beyond: the Low-Emission Path to Innovation and Efficiency demonstrates how Canada could significantly shrink its greenhouse gases emission, with immense cutbacks in energy bills.

Studies explain that executing the Kyoto Protocol will kindle construction industries and the hi-tech, condense health-care costs from air pollution, create jobs and help defend the ecosystems (see The Bottom Line on Kyoto: Economic Benefits of Canadian Action). Some intuitive sectors are previously using policies and technologies to decrease emissions yet more quickly than the Protocol wants.

The preceding government of Canada made a plan to meet up Kyoto targets, that comprised obligatory emissions slashes for big power plants and factories and a deliberate agreement with automakers to advance fuel efficiency in Canadian vehicles. Moreover a climate support fund to buy emission lessening credits from abroad ...
