ESSAY ON: Kyoto Treaty

Number of Pages 12

This research paper: 12 pages in length. The extent to which environmental destruction is occurring upon a global scale is both grand and far-reaching; that the devastation from greenhouse gas emissions – mainly carbon dioxide - poses a particularly imminent threat to the future survival of societies worldwide. As a means by which to forestall this continued degradation, the Kyoto Treaty – originated from the 1997 conference – originally sought to legally mandate emission reduction over the next ten years of 5.2% lower than 1990 amounts for industrialized nations; however, this figure was quickly 'watered down' to two percent when the world's largest polluter – the United States – flatly refused to cooperate. Emitting thirty-six percent of all global pollution in 1990, it came as quite a surprise with President Bush announced that America would not comply. The writer briefly follows the progress of the Kyoto Treaty from inception to current day. Bibliography lists 18 sources and four graphs.
