Altering...

 

Advanced countries, like the US, UK and many in Europe, have been industrializing -- and emitting climate-altering gases in the process -- for around 200 years. A lot of the comforts of living in a developed country have come at the cost of the climate.
Since 1850, China has emitted 284 billion tons of CO2, according to new analysis by Carbon Brief, a UK-based organization covering climate, energy and policy.
The US, on the other hand, industrialized decades earlier and has released 509 billion tons of CO2 -- twice as much.
This in part comes down to lifestyle. Americans earn more money, they own more gas-guzzling cars, and they fly more than the average Chinese person.
Natural gas produces fewer emissions than coal, but it is still harmful to the climate, and there are growing concerns that the US and other parts of the world are investing too heavily in gas instead of renewables.
Accordingly, Afghanistan may be a country with no problems with Climate change.
IS today's life really an anti Climate or just a theory?.  Just a thought.
