Developed countries are not reducing their emissions in such a way to reach the goals of the Kyoto Protocol commitment. Developing countries tend to increase their emission with the economy growth as they follow developed countries consumption pattern.

4. Present Situation 2 Present Situation 2 High income classes in developing countries have high energy consumption while the majority of population is poor and has very low energy consumption. High income classes in developing countries have high energy consumption while the majority of population is poor and has very low energy consumption. So there is strong inequality of the energy consumption and of GHG emissions by family inside each country following the inequality in income distribution.

The National Congress ratified it in 1994. Brazil was the first country that signed the Convention of the United Nations on Climate Change on June 4, 1992. The National Congress ratified it in 1994. In the meeting of Kyoto, a Brazilian Proposal was presented, that has had great influence, because it placed in focus the historical emissions, from the Industrial Revolution, contributing to increase the global temperature.

12. Can be Hydropower Reservoirs a Significant Source of Greenhouse Gases?

13. Although hydro-power plants emissions are rated as negligible, power dam studies carried out by a research group at the International Virtual Institute on Global Change (IVIG) of COPPE show that hydro reservoirs give rise to methane and carbon dioxide emissions, although generally at levels far lower than thermo-power plants.

From the environmental standpoint, nuclear power offers now the argument that it does not emit greenhouse gases, in contrast to massive carbon dioxide emissions produced by the fossil fuels  coal, oil and natural gas From the environmental standpoint, nuclear power offers now the argument that it does not emit greenhouse gases, in contrast to massive carbon dioxide emissions produced by the fossil fuels  coal, oil and natural gas
