WHILE OUR COUNTRY play hide and seek with THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR 'THE REDUCTION OF CO2, THEY COME FROM EUROPE THE FIRST FINES SALT AND MORE AND MORE 'dark scenarios on the horizon
From Republic Ecoblog in a few days ago came up with the news that Italy will have to pay 555 million € for non-implementation of measures to reduce CO2 emissions that cause pollution of the imbalance which in turn determines the rise in global average temeperatura and consequent climate change. This is a fine salty, which could even double if we do not give a move.
Yet faced with this prospect at the time the government simply blame the previous government, guilty of not treating enough on their allowance, without taking into account a serious national policy, such as the operational level, to combat the causes of climate change.
We are the usual: the TV does not speak, and so the problem does not exist ...
Yet the problem exists and the laxity with which we treat the topic in our country is a boomerang that sooner or later come back to hurt us.
read the following to be clear:
The effects of standing political climate are shocking
Rising emissions of greenhouse gases expected in the Reference Scenario leads to a doubling of the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere by the end of the century, causing a rise in global average temperature up to 6 ° C. The trend in the Reference Scenario indicate continued growth in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Total emissions of CO2 per year related to energy consumption increased from 28 billion tonnes in 2006 to 41 billion tonnes in 2030, an increase of 45%. The projection to 2030 is only a billion tonnes less than expected nell'Outlook last year, even if we assume much higher prices and a global GDP growth slightly weaker. It is expected that emissions of greenhouse gases worldwide, including emissions of CO2 associated with the consumption of energy and other polluting gases, will increase from 44 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2005 to 60 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2030, an increase of 35% over the 2005 level. Three-quarters of the CO2 emissions related to energy consumption expected in the Reference Scenario are from China, India and the Middle East, and 97% from the set of non-OECD countries. On average, however, the per capita emissions in non-OECD countries are far below those in OECD countries. In the latter, the emission reaches its peak after 2020, and thereafter begin to decline. Only in Europe and Japan, emissions are lower in 2030 than today. As a result of urbanization, it is expected that most of the increase in emissions CO2 related to energy use is attributed to the city, with their share rising from 71% in 2006 to 76% in 2030. City dwellers consume on average more energy than the inhabitants of rural areas and are therefore responsible for a greater amount of CO per capita.
