Sumario:	The article focuses on the initiatives to reduce emission and fight climate change. The emissions trading scheme (ETS) was adopted for the elimination of sulphur dioxide emissions and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) depleting the atmospheric ozone. It says that there were no strategies for reducing dependence on fuels except nuclear power. Moreover, anthropogenic global warming (AGW) activist James Hansen recommends an increase of carbon tax starting from 1 dollar per gallon of petrol.
