During the last few decades anthropogenic activities in the
industrially advanced countries have outcompeted nature in changing
the global environment. This is best illustrated for example by the
polluted lakes in Scandinavia and Canada, associated with acid
deposition from fossil fuel combustion. One of the major challenges
mankind is confronted with in the field of energy consumption is
undoubtedly to ensure sustainability - a goal that requires
improved management of natural resources and a substantial
reduction of the noxious emissions which are dangerous to health
and the environment. The threat of global climate change due to
pollutant emissions causes se rious concern to many nations, and
reaching an international consensus is likely to take some time.
Carbon dioxide emissions have slowed only marginally in
industrialized countries during the last few years, but have
increased significantly in most developing countries due to
increases in energy demand and the increasing use of fossil fuels,
which remain the most readily available energy sources today.
Unfortunately, far from learning lessons from the negative
experiences of developed countries, many developing countries are
taking the same path to development which has turned out to result
in serious environmental consequences."
