As the world is on its pace of development and increasing population has always increased the demand years by years. The tremendous growth in population has gradually increased the consumption of non-renewable energy resources. Due to the population growth, Industries and companies have also been increased from past decade. The increase in Industries has increased the pollution levels and now has started ringing bells of the climate advisors about the harm which is been done to the greenhouse gases. Pollution is the main cause of the destruction of the greenhouse gases.

What is Greenhouse Gases?

It’s a gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal range. The greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Without these gases the earth’s temperature would be about -18 degrees rather than the present temperature of 15 degrees.  The human activities from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution which was around 1750 have produced a 40 percent increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. It has been estimated that if the greenhouse gas emissions continue at their present rate, earth’s surface temperature would be exceeded at the year 2047 which will potentially harm the ecosystems, biodiversity and the livelihood of the people. This also alerts us about global warming. Global warming is the condition when the ozone layer situated in the atmosphere will be depleted and harmful UV rays from the sun will fall on earth.

Strict measures should be taken against the industries which emit the greenhouse gasses. Many countries have stated programs in which the companies are running only for five days a week, many companies have started installing mufflers on their chimneys, from which the poisonous substances don’t get mixed with the atmosphere to some extent. Many countries such as the US, India, Canada have made strict laws which strictly warns the industries about the emission of those gases. Recently, Canada has started a very interesting program known as Cap-And-Trade program. This program is designed in such a way that any company sets a limit in its GHG emissions in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) called the “caps” on the amount of GHG emissions produced that year. The “trade” portion is the period of an equation where the companies meet other firms to meet their emission targets. The criteria for this program for a company is 25,000 tonnes per year of GHG emissions.

Due to this, as a price is been set on the carbon emission this encourages companies and consumers to make better choices for the society and the environment. On a survey concluded on 2018, Jan Ontario, Quebec and California formed a pact to form the world’s second-largest carbon market. Ontario has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas pollution by 15 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2020, 37 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by the year 2050, this was the huge step taken by the Canada energy supplier and this saved many bucks to the Canada energy savings.
