Summary.

Current approaches to environmentalism do not work because America carbon emissions are increasing as countries are not committed to the Kyoto Protocol, which the world decrease the world’s carbon emissions as one. Nations had problems reaching their reducing targets as using the old paradigm of judging everything on economic growth people believed that environmentalism could resolve worst effects, and economic growth is made easier. Moreover, economic growth is dependent use of fossil fuels like, coal and oil and spurring it cheaply is by burning more fossil fuel thus threatening our civilization. Research has also conceded that carbon dioxide is the major environmental contaminant as no indication of improvement to decrease it as living standards rise. Today, we question ourselves whether our actions pour more carbon into the atmosphere. From furnace, air-conditioner or car-dependent folks, we would need to consider smaller homes, use the bus, or a bike for daily transportation.
