Globalisation and Climate Change - C. Samuel

Global warming is seen as today's premier global scale problem (Adams 2011)

Globalization does not cause global warming but the rapid growth and industrialization associated with a more global economy are a basic source of greenhouse gas carbon emissions that accumulate in the atmosphere to cause global warning. for e.g. hotter temperatures, rise in seal level and increased hurricane which threaten lives, property and livelihoods throughout the Caribbean. As ocean level rise the smallest low lying islands are affected
A few, large wealthy countries are responsible for the bulk of current emissions and for the stock of greenhouse gases that has accumulated in the atmosphere during their growth since the Industrial Revolution. Almost every country in the Caribbean region has been targeted as a waste dump site by waste brokers operating in the US, and these nations are under increasing pressure to accept the wastes.
The Kyoto protocol 2005 an implementation agreement under the United Nations Framework convention on Climate Change with the objective of reducing greenhouse gas.  .
