OSTI ID:577306
Since about 1750, tile Earth`s atmosphere has been polluted by anthropogenic processes apparently essential to the survival of contemporary humans. Through the burning of fossil fuels for energy and the clearance of forests for food, the abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased. Only recently, however, have the implications of an enhanced greenhouse effect been fully recognised. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate, signed in 1992 by over 160 countries, represented a global call for climate protection in response to increasing scientific concern.
