“…The United Kingdom seeks through nationally determined commitments global political leadership on climate change (peer competition to foster international cooperation). To one side of whether these arguments actually add up (Hoffmann, 2013), there remains a major problem of political narrative. Climate change cannot be made an economic problem alone if the marriage between the national and the global is to capture political imagination .…”

“…Policies prioritizing human welfare and enrichment resulted in unprecedented expansions in economic activities, which started in the twentieth century and continued until today (Malik 2012). However, this economic expansion also led to considerable environmental costs as all economic activities (including for example agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, and energy consumption) lead to environmental degradation (Hoffmann 2013). The world's population has increased from 1.65 to 7.71 billion since the 1900s.…”

“…Data collected through the last 150 years demonstrate that the greenhouse effect is the main reason of the global temperature increase and carbon dioxide is one of the main gases involved in this effect. The emission of a huge quantity of this gas (nearly 40 Gtonn/year in 2018 only from fossil fuels) [1] is causing an abrupt increase of its concentration from 300 ppm in the 50s to more than 400 ppm currently [2,3]. So, the capture of the gases present in the atmosphere is an urgent demand in order to decrease the greenhouse gases emissions, in particular for carbon dioxide.…”
