The Kyoto Protocol

"The Kyoto Protocol Treaty" was a contract/commitment constructed ideally, in the late 1900s, for developing countries with high "gas emission rates" that consisted mainly of the greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases, when exposed into the atmosphere in great quantities, would raise the surface temperature of our planet by trapping the sun's radiation that bounces off of the Earth's surface in the form heat at a much quicker pace. The Kyoto Protocol was constructed in order to monitor and control the amount of green house gases that were released from its participants, hopefully noticing a decrease in the surface temperature of our planet since its establishment in the late 1900s. The Kyoto Protocol, after its establishment, had decided to undergo two commitment periods which would ultimately determine how effective or ineffective it had become in its ideal goal for an overall reduction in gas emission rates. Since the end of its first commitment period which came to an official close in the year 2012, there has been much controversy between those that believe that the Kyoto Protocol is an essential tool in reducing the gas emission rates produced by its Parties, and those that firmly believe that the Kyoto Protocol has made very little or perhaps no sort of progress towards its desired goal. Moving onward with its intended plan, The Kyoto Protocol is set to enter its second commitment period in the year 2013, current time, with the same goal of reducing the gas emissions rates of its participants. Unfortunately with the widely mixed opinions of its analyzers, The Kyoto Protocol seems to be entering into an uncertain future that will produce uncertain results that many attribute to a task that is simply just too big for the Kyoto Protocol to manage on its own.
