چکیده
Part of the opposition to accepting greenhouse gas (GHG) constraints in the United States and some other developed countries stems from concern that developing nations are not expected as well to undertake constraints in currently suggested regimes. It is pointed out by some U.S. policy makers and lobby groups that large developing states soon will be responsible for an important share of future global emissions and thus should commit to restraints as well.

متن کاملProspects for future climate change and the reasons for early action.
Combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas, and to a lesser extent deforestation, land-cover change, and emissions of halocarbons and other greenhouse gases, are rapidly increasing the atmospheric concentrations of climate-warming gases. The warming of approximately 0.1-0.2 degrees C per decade that has resulted is very likely the primary cause of the increasing loss of snow cover and Arctic sea ...
