How many people can our planet support?
So many people are worried about overpopulation. Overpopulation is the fear of most of politicians about the future of the plantet. What will happen If we keep procreating and the population keeps growing? Will we really fit in the Earth?or there will be an excess of people?
Investigators say that the problem is not the big number of people in the world, because the Earth is bigger enough, but the scarcity of recources. Population growth has been really fast and we don't have clues about the possible consequences that it could make. If we focus on the carbon emissions, there are cities in poor nations that emit less that one tone of CO2 per person per year and cities in rich nations can have 6 to 30 tonnes of CO2 per person per year, so the difference between individuals are really big.

GLOBAL ISSUES
WHAT IS IN THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT?
SUMMARY
The Paris climate deal is a pact between the 200 countries (more exactly 196) together in the fight against climate change. The purpose of this deal is that every country has the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to come into a low-carbon emissions world.
So, the Kyoto protocol of 1997 set an emission reduction target for the developed countries and USA pulled out of the deal.
USA, among two other countries (Nicaragua and Syria), isn't supportive of the Paris climate agreement.
To confront the climate change everey country has to limit even more global temperatures to 1'5ºC. And every 5 years there's a review to each country's contribution to cutting emissions. The rich conutries have to help the poorest nations by providing "climate finance"(which may be drawn from public, private and alternative sources of financing).
About the money, the reach nations have been promised 100 bn a year by 2012 and the deal keeps saying that developed countries should help and provide support for poor nations to stop with climate change and incline the other countries to join the agreement.
All the analysts say that this is the beggining towards a low-carbon future and there's much more to do.
NEW WORDS
Achieving, achieve: To reach a goal.
Regard: To have or concern respect for.
Pledge: A solemn promise.
