2. international agreement on carbon tax credits.
3. recovery of stamp duty on homes which improve their enery efficiency.
please help as i am really stuck.

Answer 1

Nothing would have any impact as warming is caused by the Sun.

"More serious, however, has been all the evidence accumulating to show that, despite the continuing rise in CO2 levels, global temperatures in the years since 1998 have no longer been rising and may soon even be falling.

It was a telling moment when, in August, Gore's closest scientific ally, James Hansen of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, was forced to revise his influential record of US surface temperatures showing that the past decade has seen the hottest years on record. His graph now concedes that the hottest year of the 20th century was not 1998 but 1934, and that four of the 10 warmest years in the past 100 were in the 1930s.

Furthermore, scientists and academics have recently been queuing up to point out that fluctuations in global temperatures correlate more consistently with patterns of radiation from the sun than with any rise in CO2 levels, and that after a century of high solar activity, the sun's effect is now weakening, presaging a likely drop in temperatures.

If global warming does turn out to have been a scare like all the others, it will certainly represent as great a collective flight from reality as history has ever recorded. The evidence of the next 10 years will be very interesting."

Answer 2

First of all, I'd like to address Mr./Dr. Jello's reply. Specifically his comment, “Nothing would have any impact as warming is caused by the Sun.”

In a recent answer to a question of mine, Jello provided the following link to support his "warming is caused by the sun" statement:

http://www.livescience.com/environment/070312_solarsys_warming.html

I checked out the site, as I often do, and found the following link:

http://www.livescience.com/environment/070131_GW_tips.html

The 2nd link is to an article titled, How You Can Fight Global Warming. The article " ... presents a range of ideas for saving energy and otherwise cutting down on your impact on the planet. Many of the ideas will also save you money."

So to answer your question, it's easy to do a search and pick and choose information even from one site that supports your assertion, but I for one believe that if the actual costs of trash removal were imposed on households, there would be more incentive to cut down on trash by precycling and recycling. It might become more cost effective to repair an item, for instance, than trashing it!

We're getting into a gray area with the carbon tax credits. I believe the concept has a place in the broader picture, but early attempts to implement this have been flawed.

I'm not familiar with the stamp duty you mention, sorry.

I've provided a few links that will hopefully help get you back on track.

Answer 3

well it all depends on how you remove household rubbish.. if you take it to the dump, then you are effecting the global warming, burrying it causes leaching, and burning it causes air pollutants. If you can then try to find a way to recycle it. Dont know about the rest though
