             Introduction.
             On January 15, 2015, the iconic Doomsday Clock has ticket two minutes closer to midnight and now stands at three minutes to midnight, the 'latest' is has been since 1984, the height of the Cold War. The Bulletin of the Atomic Sciences1, look at global issues on a regular basis and calculates the time to Armageddon, citing climate change and a nuclear arms race as extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity. "Efforts at reducing global emissions of heat-trapping gases have so far been entirely insufficient to prevent unacceptable climate disruption,' said the Bulletin's Richard Somerville. "We all need to respond now, while there is still time.2".
             Currently, the world tends to focus on the greenhouse gas emissions of large companies, industry, and energy producers, blaming those for the increase in emissions. However, individual consumers and their lifestyle choices ultimately drive the economic activity of industry, food production, traveling, and manufacturing of good, to name a few. Individual lifestyle and consumption choices create demand and ultimately drive the emissions released by industry, agriculture, transportation, application of land, and energy production. .
             We are comparing the CO2 measurement to the person's income because we need to determine which part of society is to be held responsible for the largest amount of CO2 output.

1. Value Of Manufactured Output - US$/person/year

Value of Manufactured Output - US$/person/year Since the beginning of this century the quantitative approach to the study of economic growth and development got an important stimulus from the increased availability of official statistics on income, output and expenditure. ... However, cross country comparisons of levels of per capita income and productivity have remained relatively scarce. The main reason for this is probably the lack of an appropriate way of converting national income and output for all nations into a common currency. ... Other manufacturing comparisons between advanced c...

2. Environment and the Economy

I am of the belief that the above statement is fundamentally untrue, but what I hope to illustrate through this paper is exactly how strong a relationship exists between economic growth and environmental degradation. ... The relationship between economic growth, the environment and pollution is the subject of intense public debate. ... So as income increases above a threshold individuals and society will want to spend a large share of their incomes on these goods, reducing the pollution per unit of output and perhaps even total pollution. ... One of the most fundamental arguments that can be p...

3. Global Warming

Each year a land area the size of Belgium is deforested, resulting in the transfer from forests to the atmosphere of between one and three billion tons of carbon. If present trends in the release of CO2 to the atmosphere continue, the preindustrial level of CO2 will increase another 30% in 50 years, and then double by the year 2100. ... Atmospheric concentrations of the principal non-CO2 greenhouse gases are increasing from between 0.3% per year in the case of nitrous oxide to 5% per year in the case of CFC-11 and CFC-12. ... Based on scientific experiments, if atmospheric CO2 were to doubl...

4. Global Warming

El Nino effect strongly influences the CO2 levels. increasing levels of CO2 since 1958: 0.5% per year - increase. ... Methane (CH4) levels are low compared to CO2 but 3X more effective. ... atmospheric residence time of 150 years (CO2 - 10 years). ... Controlling the gases Direct Measures reduce output of gases (fossil fuel burning, CFCs, ruminants) Indirect Measures increase sinks of these gases (plant more trees) Forestry Controls prevent deforestation plant more forests substitute wood for fossil fuels - creates a closed CO2 recycling rather than burning stored fuel. ...

5. Economic Growth

From the circular flow of income model, income, expenditure and Output are different ways of measuring the value of GDP, with total expenditure equaling the total value of output, which in turn equals the total incomes received by the owners of productive resources in the economy. Aggregate demand refers to the sum of expenditure on domestic output by households, firms, the government and the foreign sector in an open economy. If we presume a 5 sector circular flow of income model of the economy, in equilibrium, a nations output, income and employment are determined by the level of aggregate ...

China has increasingly produced CO2 emissions in millions of tons since 1978 to 2009. ... China should implement a carbon tax to help reduce to CO2 production, and show other countries success to implement carbon tax to reduce the CO2 emission. ... On the other hand, According to World trade report 2013, the table (Figure 2) shows the world merchandise exports of the ranks and shares economies between 1980 and 2011. ...

7. Climate Change and Higher Concentrations of CO2

However,  rising CO2  concentrations are also likely to have profound direct effects on the growth of plants because CO2 is a reactant in photosynthesis. Also, the effects of elevated CO2  are not uniform: those that utilize the C4  variant of photosynthesis show less of a response to elevated CO2 than do other types of plants.  ... Rising CO2  is therefore likely to have complex effects on the rate of photosynthesis, and this lab will be able to determine the optimal concentration of CO2 that will maximize the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. ... Sodium bicarbonate used in the ...

8. Arguments For and Against Economic Growth

Economic growth is the change in potential output of the economy shown by a shift to the right of the production possibility frontier. Economic growth is measured usually always by the change in real national income. ... These are Falsity of National Income Statistics - This argument is that the increase in the national income has been largely fictitious. This means that basically the increase in income is false and is being made up. ... And in 100 years it will be nearly 19 times the national income at the moment. ...
