How does global warming effect asian countries?
Answer:
Global Warming affects all countries on this planet equally.
Efforts to curb carbon dioxide emissions are seen as quite threatening by The People's Republic of China.
The People's Republic of China has a rapidly expanding economy. If they were to cut back their use of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions that could be very damaging to their economy.
global warming affects EVERY country in the world... and countries like Japan are actually causing global warming because of all the pollution they create due to their thousands and thousands of industries and all the energy they use... of course all countries create pollution, and we need to change that now or else our planet will die.
it effects ALL countries
global warming has to do the ozone layer which is in our atmosphere, and it has something to do with the sun.
humidity rises
not at all, its not real.
Global warming is a product of a change in the energy output of the sun. Ask any astronomer and they will tell you that global warming is occuring on every planet in our solar system. What is the single factor common to them all? The sun. Look at the data on Carbon Dioxide concentration vs temperature and you will find very little correlation. compare the same data to the changes in solar output and you have a match. During the jurassic carbon dioxide levels were 30 times higher, life went on and plant and animal life flourished. Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991 in the philippines releasing more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than all of mankind has since before the industrial revolution. After 5 years there was no discernable impact on regional or global temperature. Even the scientist who proposed the global warming hypothesis has since backed off of the idea. People need to start doing some research on global warming and quit listening to the talking heads on tv telling them we're all gonna die unless we move back into caves. I and a lot of other scientist believe in conservation and taking care of our environment, but I do not support panic science. Wake up america, educate yourselves!
I think that the biggest problem asian countries have is with fossil fuels.
China for the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics is going to go through major measures two to three weeks before the games even start by severely restricting the use of gasoline powered vehicles, shutting down thousands of factories, and shutting down hundreds of coal fueled power plants. I wonder how China's power grid will handle that.
If this were not done then the air that the Olympics athletes would be breathing would most likely bring the athletes to a standstill.
China and Russia are being given a free ticket by the international community when they have the worst pollution problems in the world.
The Kyoto Accords exempt major polluters like China and Russia from polluting.
In fact if you start reading the Kyoto Accords, China and Russia and similar countries considered underdeveloped countries can make money by polluting as these underdeveloped countries can "sell" their pollution to developed countries who either do not want to meet the Kyoto Accords pollution requirements for developing countries or cannot meet the Kyoto Accords pollution requirements that all they simply have to do is to pay money to a country like a China or a Russia to "buy" their pollution.
It makes no sense.
I think that we all as citizens of PLANEt Earth should take care of the environment, and I don't believe that massive pollution should be allowed as the developed countries of the world turn their backs on the pollution of some of the underdeveloped countries allowing these countries to pollute, to use child labor, to use slave labor, and to use labor which amounts to slave labor just so that their products can be sent across the ocean so we can buy it for $0.15 cheaper.
All countries should be responsible citizens of the world, and this farce is best shown by how China will have to clean up its own air for the 2008 Olympics by shutting down large parts of China because of their massive pollution problem.
I am not picking on China as each and every nation should be a responsible citizen of the world and do their part.
Another farce are our politicians (aren't politicians a farce to begin with?), as they say they are "covering" their "carbon footprint" by "buying" "carbon footprint offsets" so they can go flying around in their large corporate jets, live in mansions, drive huge fleets of cars, etc... I won't mention the politician's name who is worth tens of millions of dollars with much of it coming from the family's oil business, and this politician says that his "carbon footprint" is neutral because as it turns out he says he pays another company, which the politician owns, to cover his "carbon footprint". Yeah, right.
I think pollution is a global problem, so an Asian pollution problem is a world problem just as a world pollution problem is an Asian problem.
Global warming is too technical to cover in this long message.
same as anywhere else. you are part of the planet aren't you?
I hate to be one to break the bubble. [Unless
Asia lives in one]. But all the continents will be
equally affected.
Yes. Take Genting for an example, it used to be cold up there, but now i can safely say that it's not.
