The UNFCC and the Kyoto Protocol

The goal of this week's conference was to have solutions made to the intentions that the COP 15 set up. The Kyoto Protocol is different from the UNFCC (United Nations Framework on Climate Change Conference) because the Convention encouraged countries to stabilize GHG emissions, the Protocol made them to do so. Three steps that can help prevent climate change would be to limit the amount of electricity we use in our homes, limit the waste we produce, and monitor the transportation we choose to use. One thing that I can do to help in this effort would be to change a light bulb in my house to a compact fluorescent light bulb. This would prevent emitting carbon dioxide into the air.

What Killed The Dinosaurs?

I believe an asteroid killed the dinosaurs. There is more evidence supporting this argument, than the other theory of drastic temperatures, due to greenhouse gasses, killing the dinosaurs. We discovered that the time a massive asteroid hit the earth was the same time that the dinosaurs became extinct. Also, melted rock that is only found in asteroids was discovered to have exploded on the earths biosphere, after moving through the atmosphere, and spread more than 100 miles from its origin. We also found fractured crystals which are only caused by an explosion, at the origin of the explosion. Also, dinosaurs seemed to have disappeared abruptly. If there were drastic temperature changes, then there would be more fossils.
