According to Bian Xiao, a college student, this is not just a problem to deal with global warming. There must be strategic deployment and political game between countries behind it.
Today, Bian Xiao will analyze the logic behind energy conservation and emission reduction in the context of global warming.
1. What is global warming and energy conservation and emission reduction?
As we all know, global warming is caused by excessive greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide). Emissions from human beings or nature lead to the accumulation of global greenhouse effect to a certain extent, which leads to rising temperature and global warming.
Energy conservation and emission reduction are carried out under this background. Energy conservation and emission reduction, in popular terms, means saving natural resources and energy and reducing the emission of harmful substances in the environment.
Therefore, on the basis of a general understanding of the two, we should have a preliminary understanding of their relationship. That is, there is a positive correlation between energy conservation and emission reduction and global warming. Therefore, human waste of energy and uncontrolled emissions will inevitably lead to global warming, and vice versa.
Second, the national strategic deployment
At the end of 2009, the world held an important global environmental conference in Copenhagen, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark. The meeting basically revolved around a theme, namely, protecting the environment, saving energy and reducing emissions, and achieving "carbon neutrality".
What is "carbon neutrality"? Carbon neutrality refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by a country in a certain period of time. It must be offset by various means (such as afforestation, energy saving and emission reduction, etc.). ) to achieve balance and achieve relative "zero emissions".
However, at this meeting, developed countries have planned to set the total carbon emission standards for the next 50 years, but this is absolutely unfair to developing countries, because most of them need to burn coal and oil to realize industrial value-added development, and the industries in developed countries have already been built, so this carbon emission target is unreasonable.
This is the strategic deployment of developed countries, equating carbon emission targets with the right to development, and letting energy conservation and emission reduction suppress the development of developing countries.
Third, the national political game.
After that conference, all countries in the world, big or small, are actively saving energy and reducing emissions, and achieving development at the expense of a small amount of environment.
Most countries are involved in this political game of carbon emissions between countries. Many countries were defeated and had to slow down their development. Many countries have also found opportunities in this game, becoming a new round of environmental masters (such as China).
China achieved its targets in many carbon emission areas ahead of schedule, and sold the remaining carbon emission targets to other countries for profit.
Therefore, it is reasonable for China to advocate energy conservation and emission reduction, which is also the result of the country's long-term development.
To sum up, in Bian Xiao's view, although we are powerless to save energy and reduce emissions, it also creates challenges and opportunities for us. In the face of global warming, we also realize that the country's brilliant strategic deployment and political game have made China stand out from many countries and embark on a healthy and green development path.
