As the end of the Kyoto Protocol draws closer and closer, global warming is still one of the most talked about issues in the world. Many countries, including Canada, have not met their carbon emissions targets that they promised to meet in the 1997 treaty, a growing concern for many people in the world.
So why has the world decided to abandon these efforts? We all know that global warming is going to affect all of us, whether it be flooding, more powerful storms, hotter weather, or melting ice caps. So why have governments across the globe decided to ignore the fate of the world?
My Answer: POOR TEAMWORK!
If all the countries in the world just care about their own economies and do not try to lower emissions, the problem will never be solved! Businesses must have standards to follow to lower emissions. The worst part is the United States, the largest polluter in the world did not agree on the protocol, and continue to pollute! The globe, including the U.S must act in order to combat this problem as a team.
Just as a team in a school project, we must work together to achieve this goal!
