Global warming is still universal problem with air pollution ,flooding and overheating. world leading countries like USA, Canada, Australia, India, China, Japan and Russia and some others are still polluting air by greenhouse gases even they are trying to stop this problem with running of some project.but in fact they also violate it too. Key portions of the Kyoto Protocol are set to expire at the end of 2012. But many of the world's major greenhouse gas emitters have already set national targets to reduce emissions, and they're forging their own initiatives to meet those goals.
Some are focusing on curbing deforestation and boosting renewable energy sources. Several nations are experimenting with cap-and-trade plans: Regulators set mandatory limits on industrial emissions, but companies that exceed those "caps" can buy permits to emit from companies that have allowances to spare. In some cases, it's not clear that countries are doing much to meet their stated climate goals. What is clear is that the pledges currently on the table aren't legally binding, and they fall far short of what would be required to stabilize the planet's atmosphere.
So, these countries are looking very serious to reduce or stop global warming, then why not the stop emit of green house gases?
The leading countries are leading countries because they burn fossil fuels. The more fossil fuels they burn the richer they become.
Sir, you are right but i am wonder then why these countries are funding for such project like Kyoto Protocol.
The funding for the Kyoto protocol was by the United Nations which does not have any citizens who can rebel. Moreover, the Kyoto protocol was not about funding, but rather about each country cutting back on its emissions.
Some governments do accept the need for action, but if the government changes then it can take a different view. Obama signed up the USA to Copenhagen, but Trump has taken them out. France was a leader in limiting the rise in temperature to 1.5%, but when Macron raised fossil fuel taxes the Yellow Vest rioters took to the streets. Brazil is another case where a change of government led to a change in policy. So even if the politicians do listen to the scientists, then they may not stay in power. And this does not only apply to democracies.
Your concerns are completely justified. In fact, they have been the subject of discussion during the COP-25 summit meeting in Madrid which has ended......today, and whose outcomes have been questioned by many delegates. The problem is that there are many interests (economic, political, and social) and it will take time and many more discussions to force politicians to take more serious action. However, some progress has been made, and it may be in the next COP meeting in Glasgow when more significant agreements might be reached, especially when it is quite clear that mankind is heading towards disaster.
Alastair Bain McDonald well said Sir, actually with changing of governments the also change their policies. So, that's why they do not follow this law due to some materialistic reasons. Anyhow this is universal issue and every country should bound to follow the rule of this law. Then we can control global warming issue.
Carlos Rodríguez-Monroy Sir, This is very necessary to bound all countries worldwide to control green house gases. without it we can not control natural disasters.
Because mostly of country they economic are poor to reduce the emotional of this co2 and sulphur acid which can distribute the O zone layer in atmosphere
@François Jost. Although the indicators used in the CCPI-2020 report can be questioned, the study makes a significant contribution to the topic under discussion. The relatively high scores of India and China are surprising. An energy poverty indicator showing the limited access of consumers to energy supplies should be considered since such a situation diminishes the per capita values.
Dilawar Khan Afridi ,
The prime minister of Australia explains here why he is not doing as you and I wish: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-50888786
...because they do not want to see a setting like that we become aware of during the corona crisis, the fallout of which we cannot imagine yet.
