Solution

Carbon dioxide Emission:

  1. Carbon dioxide emissions, often known as CO2 emissions, are gases created by the combustion of fossil fuels and the making of cement.
  2. They include carbon dioxide produced by the consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels, as well as gas flaring.

Goals that are helpful to contribute toward meeting the norms to regulate the emission of carbon dioxide are:

  1. To keep temperatures 1 to 2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels.
  2. Aligning each nation's financial aims with the above-mentioned goal.
  3. According to the Kyoto Protocol, the goal is to reduce emissions to a level that does not harm the environment.
  4. The legally binding component, which required a Senate vote, was not ratified by the United States.
  5. Canada withdrew in 2005, alleging a nearly 17 percent increase in CO2 emissions since 1990.
