The Kyoto Protocol is now in effect, and in its honor lvm environmental will now take on the hottest environmental issue (no pun intended): global climate change—the artist formally known as global warming.
The Kyoto Protocol is not the solution to all climate change problems, but it is a good start (even without the US participating). Essentially the agreement is designed to decrease global CO2 emissions, the main culprit gas which enhances the greenhouse effect. Britain is a big proponent of the agreement, especially since London is built right on the Thames River, whose flow is controlled by floodgates at the ocean. Britain’s use of these floodgates has increased exponentially over the past two decades, and the island nation of merry old England is worried.
Of all the written and verbal evidence we could share (like the already 1 degree Fahrenheit increase in global average temperature); pictures speak a thousand words.
