In the article “Who is behind Greta Tunberg,” Victor Savin argues that 70-80% of the contribution to the greenhouse effect comes from ordinary water vapor.

Current human activities have the potential to increase gas caused by the greenhouse effect. Increasing the temperature is not constant, but in the long time scales indicates that there has been global warming. In connection with efforts to save the earth from climate change in poor countries in the world through the UN session held in Bali have agreed to: (1) Bali Roadmap; (2) agreement on action to perform activities of adaptation to the negative impacts of climate change. Many people who took out the activities of carbon dioxide, kloroflorometan, nitrogen oxides, methane, aerosols, and heat or clearing land for housing, agriculture or logging. The greenhouse effect in nature has been going on for billions of years. Without water vapor and CO2 in the atmosphere,the temperature of the earth will be cooler 33 ° C compared to the current condition, so the earth becomes unfit for habitation. Thus, the greenhouse effect caused by water vapor and CO2 has a positive effect for human life. The problem right now is a greenhouse gas concentrations increasing beyond normal levels of natural as well as the emergence of several new greenhouse gases such as CFCs and CFC successors, which would cause further warming and increasingly threatening the environment carrying capacity. The world has undergone changes in temperature, season, and also increased the frequency of the most dramatic climate that requires continuous regulation to control the global climate system strictly.Keywords: greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change

Evidence provided by the scientific community strongly suggests that limits should be placed on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This means that states, firms, and individuals will have to face potentially serious burdens if they are to implement these limits. Which principles of justice should guide a global regime aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originating from human activities, and most notably from CO2 emissions? This is both a crucial and difficult question. Admittedly, perhaps this question is too ambitious, given the uncertainties and complexities characterizing the issue of climate change. Yet, rather than listing them all at this stage, let us address the question in a straightforward manner, introducing some of these complexities as the need arises.

The broader public demand reproducibility of scientific results particularly related to hot societal topics. The present work applies the 80:20-rule to climate change, concentrating on the essentials from the readily observable and identifying the inherent relationships in their potential simplicity. Observations on 400 Mio. years of paleoclimate are found to well constrain the compound universal climate role of CO 2. Combined with observations on the industrial-era atmospheric CO 2 and ocean heat evolvement, climate risk assessment and projections on the economic boundaries are performed. Independently in conjunction with energy budget studies, simple models are presented for the fundamental natural processes related to: (i) water vapor and CO 2 effect on temperature; (ii) transient and equilibrium climate; (iii) heating from the V/R-T (vibrational/rotational to translational) energy transfer; (iv) Earth emissivity changing with surface temperature; (v) water vapor for Earths energy balance maintenance; (vi) rainfall pattern altering with temperature; (vii) natures reaction on the anthropogenic energy consumption. In conclusion, realistic estimates point at precluding positive economic growth for the foreseeable future if temperatures are to be given a reasonable chance to become sustainably contained within sensible limits.

Climate change is one of the main current problems, it concerns the entire human population since its effects are worldwide, especially now we have seen its consequences, according to Menghi (2007), the average global temperatures grew by more than 0.5 ° C in the last century, and the glaciers are disappearing from the earth. The greenhouse effect generated mainly by the gases of the same name (GHG), is the fundamental factor of climate change. Construction is one of the ways in which the human being contaminates in a constant way this due to urban growth and the demand for infrastructure that this generates. This research has the purpose of determining the KG-CO2 / M2 generated by a 44 m2 house of interest type INFONAVIT using the Life Cycle methodology (ACV) of the products or materials, established in ISO 14040, employee an inventory of KG-CO2 emissions from building materials, obtained from various bibliographic sources and databases and using the work volumes required to build the house. The results obtained of 161.57 Kg-CO2 / M2.
