A clean planet requires large cuts from the nations that have the highest rates of infection, especially from America, Australia and Europe. But there is hope to save this planet. Today we use energy more efficiently. The technology of environmentally friendly energy such as wind and solar energy is very close to the stage to become competitive and perhaps more economical than the energy provided by fossil fuels. The agreement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, can provide strong economic incentives for cleaner forms of energy. Soon, the majority of electricity comes from solar and most cars will be powered by hydrogen, while the creation of new forest areas and the special treatment of the habitat of the oceans will help to further reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere created previous generations.
The challenge is not difficult to win. We have the technology to perhaps avert the worst threat to human civilization that we face at the end of the last Ice Age. But there is real political will?Despite the ongoing industrialization in many parts of the world, the emission of carbon dioxide increased at the same rapid pace as expected. As we have seen, the emission of carbon dioxide globally has increased by only 6% in the decade of 1990. The current relatively low emission of pollutants can be attributed partly to the collapse of the economies of the USSR and Eastern Europe, but is still two long-term trends: the increased efficiency of energy use in many countries and reduce the use of a " dirty fuel, coal.
