Popis: The world is currently under threat of destruction. The Arctic ice is melting, and abnormal weather conditions such as severe droughts and hurricanes have been reported around the world. Global warming is said to be the primary cause of these anomalies. What can be done to save the world from the danger of destruction? This paper first explains the global warming mechanism with reference to its main causes. It then proceeds to describe the environmental governance undertaken by Japan to resolve the problem, and finally, it gives an account of current technology for vehicles, which are responsible for the majority of carbon dioxide emissions.
