Summary:
Evidence that the atmospheric CO₂ concentration has risen during the past several decades is irrefutable. Most of the observed increase in atmospheric CO₂ is believed to result from CO₂ releases from fossil-fuel burning. The United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), signed in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, reflects global concern over the increasing CO₂ concentration and its potential impact on climate. One of the convention`s stated objectives was the ``stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. `` Specifically, the FCCC asked all 154 signing countries to conduct an inventory of their current greenhouse gas emissions, and it set nonbinding targets for some countries to control emissions by stabilizing them at 1990 levels by the year 2000. Given the importance of CO₂ as a greenhouse gas, the relationship between CO₂ emissions and increases in atmospheric CO₂ levels, and the potential impacts of a greenhouse gas-induced climate change; it is important that comprehensive CO₂ emissions records be compiled, maintained, updated, and documented.
