Research and Markets : Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Debate Rages
Research and Markets (researchandmarkets.com/reports/c13693) has announced the addition of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Credit Trading Report to their offering.
(PRWEB) March 11, 2005 -- Greenhouse gases are gases that have the ability to absorb heat in the atmosphere. Most are naturally occurring and others man-made. In both cases, human activity is believed to be increasing the levels of these gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Many scientists agree that these changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases(GHGs) can and will alter the balance of energy transfers between the atmosphere, space, land, and the oceans causing the earth to warm up like a greenhouse. In the past century alone, the average surface temperature of the Earth has increased by 1º Fahrenheit. While this may not seem like much, it is likely a larger increase than any other century within the last 1,000 years, and has been accompanied by melting glaciers, an increase in sea level, and more extreme rainstorms.
The debate about whether global warming is occurring, or even if it is occurring, whether or not global warming is detrimental, rages on. However, most agree that taking action to reduce GHG emissions is the wisest course of action for the future.
