The international community has agreed on the Copenhagen Accord that “climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time.” For them Carbon Dioxide emissions are the greatest reason for this change (Zhao and Du 39). Others argue that it is not a cause, that it is just a coincidence, that actually the Carbon Dioxide emissions are not a threat to the world. During an event hosted by the United States Energy Association, Roger Bezek, a consultant to energy companies, said, “CO2 is basically plant food, and the more CO2 in the environment the better plants do” (Milbank). Even though this is a hot topic nowadays the more fundamental question is: Are we taking care of our planet? And the answer is a very concise NO. There have been efforts to stop the relentless increase in the levels of carbon dioxide emissions, but these efforts have brought little relief to the main problem. During the last 60 years the levels of Carbon Dioxide emissions have increased dramatically. This is the moment when Carbon Dioxide emission regulations need to become stricter. This will bring challenges but these are challenges that need to be faced now; if not, not long from now the new main topic will be looking for a new planet to host us.
