GLOBAL WARMING

                  CURIOUS CASE OF CARBONDIOXIDE (CO2)

              During the recent financial crisis the global emission of CO₂ gas decreased by 1.3% in 2009 v/s a steady rise of 3.4% every year between 2000 & 2008. However, it is expected that CO₂ emission would grow by more than 3% in 2010 as per the study led by Pierre Friedlingstein, a Mathematician ta the University of Exeter in the UK.

              A study on the recent emission data of major countries shows a realistic picture of their economic performance as below:

Japan- 11.8% cut in 2009

UK- 8.6%

Russia- 8.4%

Germany- 7%

US- 6.9%

             On the other hand, there was an increase in CO₂ emission in the developing countries as below:

China- 8% rise

India- 6.2%

South Korea- 1.4%

            All the countries need to understand the need for green growth.
