Emissions from Carbon Dioxide Intensity


One of the most pressing issues facing governments and industries today is global warming and the associated global climate change. Considerable debate is ongoing on what are the right policy instruments to use to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere. These gases, also known as greenhouse gases (GHG), have been linked to a rise in the earth's average temperature, termed global warming resulting in global climate change.
