Management of Greenhouse Gases Emissions in the Current Climate Change: Case Study: Center Region, Romania

Open access
This study addresses climate changes issue related to greenhouse gases emissions. Earth suffered in time a series of major changes in climate and we are now in a process of gradual warming, which can have devastating consequences. It is now accepted that greenhouse gases produced by human activities, but not only, are the main cause of this issue because of their high global warming potential. Scientific studies have shown that the substances that act as greenhouse gases adsorbing and emitting infrared radiation are: water vapors (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N2O), ozone (O3) and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC).
The study took into account the climate changes that occurred for processing sets of relevant statistical indicators, in order to analyze and identify appropriate solutions to decrease the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. Have been analyzed the main aspects of the quantity of greenhouse emissions, during 2003-2010, released into the atmosphere both at the global level: in the Romanian Center Region and at local level: in counties of the region. Through processing data obtained from environmental reports, studies and specific documents were formulated conclusions that can be useful in proposing measures and action plans for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
