Recall, within the framework of the summit, held in late 2015, a new climate agreement was signed. It replaced the Kyoto Protocol, a document that was not compiled in the best way: it contained a sufficient number of gaps that aggravated the natural problems of the world. What climatic cataclysms can be attributed to the poorly compiled Kyoto Protocol?

Emissions of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere greatly influence the climate. However, the non-ideal Kyoto Protocol, which was signed in 1997, contains restrictions on the emissions of such gasses only for developed countries and countries with economies in transition. The catch is as follows: the states from which the greatest amount of such gasses enter the atmosphere are developing ones. It is for them in the Kyoto Protocol, there are no prohibitions. Nature advocates hope that the new agreement will contain limitations for these countries.

Experts believe that by 2035 the temperature on the Earth will rise by 0.7C, and by 2081 - by 2 C. Winter months will not be so severe and long, and summer - extremely warm.

For years, China has been known for a particularly strong concentration of harmful substances in the air. The climatic problem is most acutely felt in this country. The state authorities announced the start of global reforms, which should solve the problem of pollution in the state. Note that 75% of China's rivers are considered poisoned, and the smog almost never left major cities.

Oil, which enters the waters of the World Ocean annually in an amount of 5-10 million tons, harms the inhabitants of the oceans. Every year, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans emit on land about 9 million tons of waste and more than 30 million tons of waste, respectively.

Rainforests are disappearing every year. The problem is that their disappearance is 10 times that of recovery.

Another problem: the lack of fresh water in some countries. Today, its reserves continue to fall. Over the past 40 years, the amount of such water per person has decreased by 60%. It is assumed that fresh water will be half as much in 60 years.

In the photo: the Buriganga River in Bangladesh. This is the dirtiest river in the world - you can not take water for domestic needs from it, let alone use it for drinking. Every day 1.5 million cubic meters of industrial waste enter this river.

Today, in 50% of the world's countries the permissible levels of air pollution are exceeded. This figure was established by the World Health Organization.

India is also considered one of the dirtiest countries in the world. Many will be surprised, but the level of pollution in Delhi today exceeds the level of pollution in Beijing.

Because of global warming, glaciers of the planet are rapidly melting. Their decrease is followed by floods in Africa and other highland countries.

Scientists believe that every eighth inhabitant of the planet today suffers from a shortage of safe drinking water.

Today, only five Chinese cities out of 500 can boast an acceptable level of gas contamination.

In November, there was a major catastrophe in the history of the mining industry in Brazil - the breakthrough of the dam Samarco. In water and soil, there were 50 million tons of iron ore mining wastes. Such elements are very dangerous for people. Residents in the breakthrough area of the dam were evacuated.
