Greenhouse Effect

The Science Behind Global Warming

Introdction

The rapid urbanization and industrialization of regions has greatly contributed to the world’s economy in the past few decades. But the indicated “growth model” or rather phenomenon of these processes deeply correlates with high energy consumption and electricity usage, which in turn leads to an economic model problem of integrating high CO₂ emissions and increasing the greenhouse effect. All of these factors now are the cornerstone problems to sustainable development for countries around the world (Dong et al., 2021).

  • Primary a global measurement of energy consumption was 10,031.6 Mtoe in 2003 and should have been at 13,864.9 Mtoe in 2018 with 38.21% increase (BP, 2019).

  • Simultaneously, global emission of CO₂ has also increased from 25,715.7 million tonnes to 33,890.8 million tonnes which is by 31.79%.

  • This massive increase on those fossil fuel like coal and oil had result in dangerous technological advancement (Dong et al., 2021).

    • These rapid changes in the emission pace leads to even higher global warming claiming even stronger threat to the natural balance systems.

    City in Smoke
We have established that having defined the economy also defines the efficiency of influence on the environment. But in addition to these factors, the lack of political stability also impacts the environmental consequences. Political conflicts like the Middle East or North Africa are highly damaging to a regions economic development or citizen social order in a C02 emitting level. These risks must be explored as one to calculate and control the climate crisis on a global level.

The analysis for this study has been framed around three pivotal elements: the scale effect, the technique effect, and the structure effect, with special focus on how political risks affect CO₂ emissions on an international scale. In addition, it analyzes whether the consequences are homogeneous across countries and regions, offering an understanding of the asymmetric and heterogeneous impacts of political instability and environmental harm.
