Kyoto Treaty
[ send me this essay ]
12 pages in length. The extent to which environmental destruction is occurring upon a global scale is both grand and far-reaching; that the devastation from greenhouse gas emissions – mainly carbon dioxide - poses a particularly imminent threat to the future survival of societies worldwide. As a means by which to forestall this continued degradation, the Kyoto Treaty – originated from the 1997 conference – originally sought to legally mandate emission reduction over the next ten years of 5.2% lower than 1990 amounts for industrialized nations; however, this figure was quickly 'watered down' to two percent when the world's largest polluter – the United States – flatly refused to cooperate. Emitting thirty-six percent of all global pollution in 1990, it came as quite a surprise with President Bush announced that America would not comply. The writer briefly follows the progress of the Kyoto Treaty from inception to current day. Bibliography lists 18 sources and four graphs.

Legislative Fuel Issues: Economic Impact
[ send me this essay ]
18 pages in length. The 1980's presented the perfect scenario with regard to the economic and political relationship to the oil market. Depending upon one's interpretation of which direction the oil market was heading during that time, various approaches were taken in relation to its final and stabilizing outcome. Indeed, this particular decade was quite instrumental in determining what was to be expected for future decades that were to follow. With the current situation of proposed taxation and mileage regulation, the need has never been more critical for alternative sources in order to ease the inherent economic impact. Progress has been made over the past two decades since the 1980s oil issue; as such, the combined efforts of regulatory and market pressures proved to generate twice the miles per gallon from 1973. Still, the positive economic impact of such changes must be only the beginning toward addressing the steadily depleting fuel supply. The writer discusses suggested changes in legislation in order to address the growing energy problem. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Lessons Learned From Love Canal
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Lessons learned from the hazardous waste incident at Love Canal were ones that did not need to be taught; rather, there was no learning curve involved with knowing that building a community on top of a defunct waste site had the potential - if not sooner than most certainly later - to become an environmental disaster of massive proportions. That such a lesson would need be taught to developers is unsettling on its own; to have developers make the conscious decision to place myriad families directly in harms way for the benefit of a buck speaks to a breach of ethics no amount of remuneration could rectify but that a handful of new legislation could attempt to prevent in the future. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
