Green House Gas Reduction for Humanity

According to the 2014 International Energy Agency, CO2 Emissions from fuel Combustion highlight transportation was responsible for 23% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Climate change has been attributed to the rise in (GHG), and the effects have been prevalent with the increase in violent weather worldwide. The 5 highest polluting countries with (GHG) are as follows: most to most miniature China, Russia Federation, the United States, India, and Japan. All top five emitters have reduced their emissions per unit of GDP between 1990 and 2012, while emissions perceived showed contrasting trends. For example, perceptual emissions decreased significantly in the Russian Federation (21%) and the United States (17%), although each followed very different strategies to achieve those results. The Russian numbers dropped sharply and rose steadily in that period indicating the possible circumventing of the established policies. The United States, on the other hand, has steadily fallen since 2008, indicating a more rigid approach. This will build on the voluntary emissions reduction pledges from the 2015 Paris Treaty that 195 countries around the world signed which were established from COP 21. The Paris Agreement aims to reduce (GHG) to keep the global temperature from rising over 2° C and break the natural checks and balances of the world eco-system out of kilter. The most significant lifestyle changes will have to be made in developed nations. It will start with reconstructing infrastructure, allowing them to operate off renewable energies like solar power and wind. This has been achieved primarily in Germany, which made the change due to the lack of natural mineral resources, and they have become much more energy-independent. These shifts are going to change the world economies, but it is also an opportunity for markets that have seemed to level off on growth. Plus, making these changes is humanity's best choice for future generations.
