ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to analyze the current structure, mostly pre-Paris situation, and speculate about the results and methods to deal with it. It analyzes the carbon emissions situation which is the most important among greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in terms of their total impact in greenhouse effect. The chapter takes the carrying capacity issue into account. It evaluates the situation of carbon emission and its effects on the carbon cycle. Water vapour, after carbon dioxide, is the most important in terms of the greenhouse effect; however, it is not anthropogenic, it has generally short-term effects, and a complex relationship with other greenhouse gases. As carbon dioxide emissions are our primary concern, regenerative capacity should be taken into account as part of the whole global carbon cycle. Because it is directly related to the global warming issue, other GHG emissions should also be included in the calculations.
