Background of Stop Climate Change Project

Situation of climate change has been so far recognized as one of the most crucial global problems. In fact, many people and organizations have been working hard to overcome the situation. However, the global carbon emission keeps increasing (21 billion tons in 1990 to 29 billion in 2009 while our planet can absorb only 10 billion in its nature). Moreover, the damage is getting more and more serious on landscape, forests and its biodiversity. Also in food production and water supply, human security and the list goes on.
