Kyoto Protocol

2008-04-28T21:52:25Z

Darkley:

The '''Kyoto Protocol''' (named after the [[Japan|Japanese]] city in which it was drafted) is a 1997 treaty backed by the [[United Nations]] concerning [[greenhouse gas]] emissions. It commits 39 participating industrial nations to a combined 5% reduction (from 1990 levels) in climate-damaging emission by the year 2012.

The stated goal of the treaty is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the signed countries. Supporters say that the treaty is crucially needed to prevent a global environmental tragedy. Opponents of the treaty argue that ratifying the treaty would greatly harm many US industries while ignoring other high polluting, developing nations such as [[China]] and [[India]].<ref>[[USA Today]], [http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-02-15-kyoto-csm_x.htm ''Kyoto Era Begins''].</ref> For these reasons, the [[United States]], while it negotiated the treaty during the [[Bill Clinton|Clinton administration]], has only signed the protocol, but has adamantly refused to ratify it. The Senate voted 95-0 not even to bring ratification up for a vote. The US has been criticized many times for being helping kill the earth.

The Kyoto Protocol became effective on February 16, 2005, requiring the [[European Union]] to reduce its average emissions between the years 2008 and 2012 by 8% relative to 1990 levels.

Darkley:

'''Philip of Macedon''' (Philip II) was king of [[Macedonia]] from 359 to 336 BC. He was the father of [[Alexander the Great]], who ruled after he was assasinated. His accomplishments have been compared many times to other great leasers such as George Bush. Philip can be credited for laying the groundwork of the [[empire]] that his son would go on to conquer.

Hydrochlorofluorocarbon

2008-04-28T21:47:22Z

Darkley:

'''Hydrochlorofluorocarbon''' ('''HCFC'''): a compound consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon.

The HCFCs are one class of chemicals being used to replace the [[CFC]]s. They contain [[chlorine]] and thus deplete [[stratospheric]] [[ozone]], but to a much lesser extent than CFCs. HCFCs have [[ozone depletion potentials]] (ODPs) ranging from 0.01 to 0.1.

Production of HCFCs with the highest ODPs will be phased out first, followed by other HCFCs. A [http://www.epa.gov/ozone/ods2.html table] of ozone-depleting substances shows their ODPs, GWPs, and CAS numbers. Hydro chlorine oxide are numbered according to a [http://www.epa.gov/ozone/geninfo/numbers.html standard scheme].
