About a year ago China was ambitious in coming up with a plan to reduce the global warming by limiting the machines that put out all the wastes into the environment. They also had ambitious plans for phasing out the small companies that put out so much pollution and coming up with better ways to be more energy effecient. The countries climate change had a great impact on the goals that were put into place. The warmer weather had led to less rain and less drinking water and they knew that something had to be done or they would be in really great trouble. Right now they are really struggling to meet these goals of climate change. They have decided that incentives need to be made for the big companies in other surrounding countries and states so that it will make "going green" more appealing to these people. Because "going green" takes more effort and a lot of times more money but in the long run it will save money for a lot of people in the government as well as citizens of that country. There is an emission peak that will happen in 10 to 15 years and if this goal is not put into effect in other countries then in 25 years people will be spending 20 trillion U.S. dollars on world demand emissions.
I think that this is an excellent goal and that this is a problem that needs to be made aware to more people. I think that in the U.S. it is catching on slowly but people are not understanding what the impact of just trying to save a little bit of energy will do for our country and the world. People feel like 25 years is a long time but that time is slowly decreasing the more we emit these aweful gasses into our atmosphere. Something needs to be done to wake people up and help them to realize what a big deal this really is and that even a little bit helps.
