Question:

Do you think the international efforts to decrease green-house gas emission through Kyoto Protocol will be successful? Please give your reasons.

My Opinion:

I think the effect of Kyoto Protocol is limited. Unlike CFCs with literally no ecomony harm, nations which sign Kyoto Protocol would have to spend money on various espects (from research to cut-down fuel usage) to reduce green-house gas emission. With that, many big nations refuse to sign it.

The other reason I think is that we don’t know how much emission we need to reduce to ensure that we are safe from “the day after tomorrow” scenario. Is 1950 even enough? or even pre-industry standard (which is none)? 1990 level defined in Kyoto is nothing but a balance result from economy consideration and fear from the mother nature (with scientific “guesses”.)

Kyoto goal will be hard to reach; even it’s done eventually, the actual effect on global warning is still questionable.

Global Change and Sustainable Development is one of the few courses that is conducted in English in our school. In this lesson, Prof. Chao-Han Liu talks about stories of Ozone Hole, Green House Gas and Global Warming, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, etc. This is one of the questions asked on mid-term.

這是我的詐騙集團profile，目前已經進行到她要用很吵的背景通知我說我得獎了，不過我剛好都接不到他們的電話喔^^:。

您好，我姓陳，目前在餐飲業服務。我的聲音比我的年紀年輕，老實說今年也28歲了。我公司在台北市重慶南路一段122號，要寄中獎通知或是匯款詳細資料的話麻煩請寄到我家，地址是台北市忠孝東路一段7號7樓。
我很樂意接受市場調查，也很樂意把個人資料告訴你；如果有抽獎而且我又幸運抽到的話，一定要打電話通知我喔！不過我人常常不在台灣，電話可能會是我的專任行政助理接的。

對了，打電話到我的手機一定要顯示號碼啊！不然會被當成詐騙集團喔，囧。
