Different countries have different reactions and opinions regarding this protocol.For example,the United States of America and the Bush Administration decided that they were not going to be part of this protocol.The Bush Administration believes that global warming is not a problem that should concern them because they insist that there is no such thing as global warming.If the United States decides to be part of the Kyoto Protocol,the energy industry of this country will have a to spend $300 billion in order to meet the reduction of production of greenhouse gases required by the Kyoto Protocol.鈥淒onald Kennedy,editor of the respected journal Science鈥 agrees the administration is politicizing science more than previous administrations,鈥 says William Triplett in his article 鈥淪cience and Politics鈥?It is important to mention that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have extensive professional and personal ties with the energy industry of the United States,which gave a big contribution to the Bush campaign and other republican senators such as Sen.James Inhofe,R-Okla.James Inhofe opposes the regulation of the production of greenhouse gases by the federal government because he claims that sound science,which is consistent and demonstrated scientific data,does not support the idea that such gases are provoking global warming.On the other hand,there are some Republican senators that oppose Inhofe鈥檚 idea.Senator Chuck Hagel,R-Nebraska,is one of the few leading Republican influencing climate change.鈥淸Hagel] introduced three bills designed to be economic jumper cables that would boost the development of clean-energy technologies鈥 says Amanda Griscom Little in her article 鈥淣ebraska Republican Chuck Hagel Chats with Grist about Climate Change鈥 published by Grist Magazine.These bills are focused on the exchange of international technology,which must be clean-energy technologies,and the authorization of $4 billion over five years to encourage the national development of non-polluting technologies.鈥淭he objective is to address the issue of greenhouse-gas emissions in a realistic and achievable way鈥 explains Hagel.Obviously the Bush Administration鈥檚 priority is to expend US money in defense and war.Moreover,they are trying to convince the world that humans are not causing global warming because they know that the US is the biggest polluting country in the world and it will cost the government a lot of money to make changes that will reduce global warming.I wonder what the purpose of spending all that money on a war that is supposed to protect the US citizens from other countries,when in the end we are all slowly killing each other by contaminating the earth.Another country like Venezuela,which is the third largest oil exporter in the world,is agreeable to approve the Kyoto Protocol.鈥淎lthough Venezuela is an oil exporting country,the amount of greenhouse gas emissions is relatively low,constituting 0.48% of global greenhouse emissions when the United States alone produces 35%鈥 says Ana Elisa Osorio,who is the Minister of the Environment and Natural Resources of Venezuela,in the article 鈥淰enezuelan Government Will Ratify the Kyoto Protocol鈥?Even thought Venezuela is not required by any international act to accept the Kyoto Protocol鈥檚 policies,the Venezuelan government is enthusiastic to cooperate.Osorio considers it to be really unsupportive for the United States to reject the Kyoto Protocol.She questions this decision based on the quantities of greenhouse gases that the US produces.
Global warming and climate change are affecting all life on earth and the solution to this problem is in our governments.Humans have suffered for many years because of the climate change,but most recently these changes have occurred dramatically,affecting the economy and life.Many countries have taken the right decision on becoming part of the Kyoto Protocol,but is alarming that the biggest polluting country,the United States,has rejected this convention in which its only idea is to save the planet from melting down.It is obviously unfair that the other 65% of the world,made up of many countries,has to pay the consequences of just one country that is creating 35% of the problem.The United States has always claimed that it wants to save the citizens of the world on every worldwide activity that they are part of,but I wonder why they don鈥檛 want to save the world that they are part.I believe that the only answer to this question is that President Bush doesn鈥檛 want to expend money on something that his father doesn鈥檛 tell him to.I just leave it to everyone鈥檚 mind to decide what is the right answer to this problem.
Nowadays there are fewer and fewer cinema-goers and the cinema is slack.However,there are more and more TV viewers.There are many reasons for this social phenomenon,but in general,they come down to three major ones.
First,film tickets are too expensive,while it doesn't cost much to watch TV at home.Besides,it is time-consuming and inconvenient to go to the cinema.Nevertheless,it is very convenient and comfortable to watch TV at home.You needn't go out but just need to turn on the television.Most important of all,if you don't like the film you'll have to sit through it; but if you don't like one programme on TV,you can shift to another.
However,some people still go to the cinema.They usually go to the cinema for the purpose of social contact.Young people go dating there.Other people go to the cinema as an activity.For example,schools often organize children to go to the cinema.Sometimes employees also go to the cinema with the film tickets presented by their institutions.
