It is only measurable over decades and centuries. Some of the changes can be beneficial [...]
The Real World of GHG Emissions and Growth Contributed by Robert Lyman © 2021 Many people in Europe and North America today take it for granted that what the countries of “the west” decide to do in political and policy terms will lead, or at least set the broad agenda for, the whole world.
