It means the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and increased ozone depletion. This threatens to lead to dra- matic climatic changes or global warming. To reduce these threats, the scientists of the various countries of the world say that global emis- sions must be curtailed. A number of gases contribute significantly to the stock of green- house gases. The burning fuels by automobiles and industries are main sources of greenhouse gases. Less damaging sources include de- forestation, animal husbandry, wet rice cultivation, decomposition of waste, and coal mining. Because incomes and consumption are higher in the wealthiest countries, per capita emissions are much higher. For example, the lev- el of per capita emissions in the United States is more than twice big- ger than that in Europe, 19 times higher than that in Africa, and 25 times higher than that in India. A study jointly sponsored by the World Meteorological Organiza- tion and the United Nations Environment Program shows that global warming is growing. It says that if current emission trends continue, the mean global temperatures may rise 3 C by the end of the twenty- first century. The potentially catastrophic consequences of climate changes have caused widespread cries for joint preventive policy to combat envi- ronmental pollution, concentration of greenhouse gases and ozone de- pletion. Statesmen and scientists stress that responsibility for reducing emissions must be divided across the members of the international community. The share of responsibility may be remarkably different depending on industrial development, income, social structure and po- litical orientation of a country. There is great controversy over the extent to which each govern- ment must control the emissions produced by its local population, in- dustry and agriculture. 157 |
