Draft 2 Weighing the realities of the Kyoto Protocol

This topic submitted by Daniel H. Fogarty and Andy Shafer ( dhfogarty@hotmail.com ) on 2/4/02 .


After some preliminary research, we have discovered a diverse and multi-faceted response to this historic accord. As we acknowledge the desperate need to reduce GHG (greenhouse gases), we also see the inevitable run-ins with economic realities. Because of this, we will address the KP as it is now. Is the KP a viable solution to impending global climate change? What goals are realistic, and what is being left out of the Protocol? We will also make some suggestions (based on the preliminary studies done concerning both the levels of GHG's emitted and the economic ramifications) regarding future negotiations and/or efforts to "combat" global climate change.
