Abstract
This paper looks at global warming and its impact, both climactically and politically, upon Canada. In particular, the paper asserts that global warming has impacted Canada's environment in a tangible way and has also transformed Canadian politics - perhaps not for the better. Additionally, the paper examines how global warming is impacting vulnerable wildlife species and aboriginal or native societies in various regions of Canada. Furthermore, the paper looks at global warming's effects upon Canadian politics, with special attention devoted to the charged rhetoric surrounding the issue. The paper concludes that global warming is sharpening the ideological and political divide between those Canadians who believe something drastic needs to be done and those who do not feel so inclined.

From the Paper
"The more temperate Northern Canadian climate also has serious implications for ultraviolet B exposure in Canadian inland waters. Although one recent study suggests that "dissolved organic matter-mediated ultraviolet B exposure" is not a serious problem for those Canadian inland waters that were examined, the same report also found that "optically clear" and at-risk ponds were much more common (perhaps even surprisingly common) in the artic eco-zones - particularly in the Northern artic and in the artic cordillera (Molot et al, 2511-2512). To sum up this entire section, Canada's climate is changing in ways that put many aquatic and terrestrial species in harm's way."

"The following paper will look at global warming and its impact, both climactically and politically, upon Canada. In particular, the paper will assert that global warming really has impacted Canada's environment in a tangible way and that it has also transformed Canadian politics - perhaps not for the better. With that in mind, the next several pages will look at how global warming has heightened the risk of exotic species introduction into Canada, how it is impacting vulnerable wildlife species, and how it is impacting aboriginal or native societies in various regions of Canada. From there, the paper looks at global warming and its impact upon Canadian..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer examines the idea of global warming and discusses the accuracy of predictions regarding its overall effects and the root causes of the problem. The writer also discusses the research that predictions of global warming are based upon and examines the conflicting studies presented by governmental and international bodies. In addition, the writer argues that UN mechanisms put in place to decrease carbon emissions and reduce the planets temperature rise, will, in fact, have the opposite effect. The writer postulates that for Canada, the cost of adherence to the Kyoto protocols will be excessive and quotes a number of researchers in evidence. The paper is accompanied by a number of tables and graphs.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In 1998 the first and most comprehensive study of compliance costs to Canada was done by the National Climate Change Process (NCCP), a group formed by various Canadian government officials. The results were not what the government had hoped for. The study predicts long term negative effects on the Canadian economy of between 0.5 to 3% per year, and up to 20 years recovery time. Real wages would drop between 1 and 4%, and there would be significant risk of damaging levels of inflation. According to the analysis, it is not Alberta, but Saskatchewan and Ontario that are the hardest hit provinces"

Abstract
The paper discusses the gases that are involved in creating the greenhouse effect. The writer proposes a solution to global warming for the residents of Canada. The paper looks to prove how an expansion of the forests will not only add to the beauty of the country, but will also aid in the reduction of dangerous gases.

From the Paper
"Due to its vastly different climates from one coastline to the other, it is not surprising that Canada has become very interested in the problems of global warming. As a result of global warming, Canada has been struck with heavy heat waves, droughts, floods, and other extreme climate changes. All of these changes effect the lives of the nation in how they live, grow crops, earn livings and save money. Because carbon dioxide has been found to have a large effect on global warming, Canada must increase its major sinks of carbon dioxide and decrease its major sources. Research has shown that Canadian boreal forests are currently a sink for carbon dioxide. Due to the fact that these forests are still growing, they are able to hold more carbon, but as they mature this ability to store large amounts will decrease. In addition, if these forests continue to burn down or carry insects, they will become a large source of carbon dioxide, instead of a sink (Hengeveld, 519)."

Abstract
Global warming is a serious problem and is causing the atmosphere to erode. Each country around the world is responsible for emitting some level of pollutants into the atmosphere, thus environmental protectionism is an issue that affects everyone. Increased levels of pollution are contributing to the depletion of resources along with contamination of the world's water supplies and soil content. Various governments around the world are implementing environmental policy to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In the mean time, the United Nations has pushed the issue on to the international stage and has called on its member countries to find a collective solution (i.e. Kyoto Protocol). The United Nations is holding its 11th annual Climate Change Conference in November/December 2005 in Montreal, Quebec. At the same time, the Kyoto Protocol will also be discussed for the first time since the agreement was implemented in February 2005. There has been a great deal of controversy over the Kyoto Protocol and some countries have refused to sign the agreement.

Abstract
The paper outlines the anthropogenic causes of global warming, the evidence of its existence and some of the differing ways in which the U.S. and Canada are approaching the issue of climate change. The paper discusses how, while Canada appears sincere in its efforts to adhere to Kyoto Protocol requirements, it seems to be actually achieving less than the United States.

From the Paper
"The causes of global warming are many. Most notably, carbon dioxide and methane gas emissions - be they from power plants, from vehicles, from planes, or from man-made structures/installations - serve to facilitate global warming insofar as CO2 and methane gas molecules (as well as Chloroflurocarbon molecules) "trap" long-wave radiation, otherwise known as "heat", and prevent it from escaping into space. Suffice it to say, the more CO2, Chlorofluorcarbons and methane present in the atmosphere, the more global temperatures will climb (Collins, para.5 and para.8-10). All in all, the accumulation of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere and the attendant higher temperatures mean the slow deterioration of vulnerable ecosystems - such as the two Artic Poles - that are not designed to accommodate rapid temperature increase."

Abstract
This nine page paper examines why global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The writer looks at the Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, and has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. For example, the writer notes studies which have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data that indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming.

From the Paper
"Based upon studies conducted over the last twenty years, many scientists have concluded that global warming has become the primary threat facing polar bears. The Arctic polar bear population, which has been estimated to be approximately twenty-five thousand, of which about fifteen-thousand are in Canada, has been impacted in a number of negative ways by climate change caused by air pollution. (Stirling 12) For example, studies have documented measurable effects in the body sizes and reproductive success of bears at Hudson's Bay and in other Arctic regions, and data indicates that these changes are due to gradual climate change in the Arctic because of global warming."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many social and economical reasons for Canada not to ratify the Kyoto Accord of 1997, an international agreement aimed at addressing the issue of climate change. The paper argues, for example, that there is no concrete evidence that global warming is in fact occurring. The paper shows that many provincial governments in Canada are opposed to the ratification of the Accord, whereas the federal government is in full support. This could be attributed to the fact that Jean Chretien knows that he will soon no longer be the Prime Minister of Canada, ratification of the Kyoto Accord may be his way of making a grand exit. The paper argues that the federal government has obviously not taken into account the economical impacts of the Kyoto Accord. If the Accord is ratified, many Canadian jobs will be lost as a result, some project even a second brain drain to the USA.

From the Paper
"If Canada ratifies the Kyoto Accord, the country would be a much better place to live in now as well as in the future. At least this is what many "experts" would like Canadians to believe. The United Nations Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement aimed at addressing the issue of climate change. The protocol was agreed to in 1997. It commits developed countries to collectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 5.5% below 1990 levels by the period 2008-2012. Canada's share is a 6% reduction below 1990 levels. Other developed countries are being obligated with different emission reduction commitments. Developing countries and, of course, countries that are not party to the agreement are not required to meet targets for greenhouse gas emissions (CM&E, 2001)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Atlantic Salmon has drastically declined in Canada due to industialization and displacement, metal pollution, acid rain, global warming and climatic change, affecting a species that is a sea fish that spawns in fresh water. The paper explains how the degradation of both fresh water and the sea produce risks for Atlantic Salmon across the life cycle. The paper addresses how aquaculture has worked to increase contagious disease and parasites and presents a paragraph on promising conservation work supported by much scientific research in several countries.

From the Paper
"Environmentalism is often approached in ways that do not instill a sense of how biodiversity is threatened overall due to inter-related environmental threats. What has taken form to threaten Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L) in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Eastern Quebec, and related areas including Maine, shows the complexity of tracing kinds of threats and kinds of harm sustained, as well as the need to seek new solutions that consider a range of factors. Development in the Atlantic region after 1900 involved high logging and..."
