The European Union’s commitment against climate change. Is it enough to reduce carbon dioxide and the subsequent rainforest effect in order to change the climate?
The European Commission created a legislative accord on energy and climate on January 23rd, 2008, which aims to articulate to the member states the goals set forth by the EU for 2020, in terms of the reduction of CO2 (20% less than in 1990) and to increase by 20% the use of renewable forms of energy...
