Introduction
Environmental factors are issue of a great concern to each and every individual especially when
it affects the current generation. Carbon emission illustrations has shown that greenhouse gases
are the main cause of negative environmental degradation. Apart from research, scientist have
also agreed that greenhouse are the main culprits of climate change issues and have mislead
people that the entire issue is about global warming. When burning fossils, the carbon is relished
to the air inform of the carbon dioxide, this gases trap also radiation in the atmosphere and this
hangs the overall temperature of the atmosphere. It is important to note that the largest producer
of carbon emission comes from electricity generation. This contributes to more than 32% of the
greenhouse emission. The United States government noted that over 70% of power used comes
from burning fossils and more specifically coal and natural gas. Apart from electricity, the other
largest contributor of carbon emission is the transportation which accounts for over 28% of the
greenhouse emissions. This carbon comes from things like vehicles, train and even ships.
According to the data given, the United States alone has received total Emission increase of 5%
since the years 1999. Despite the fact that this level dropped in 2011, the rate of emission is still
very high compared to other countries. The drop in that one year is primarily caused by the
decrease in demand for the electricity simply because the electricity demand came relatively
lower than expected (Keller & Oschlies., 2014 pg678). Many countries have cited that carbon
emission are the main cause of industrialization. Since the beginning of 18th century, human
activities have pumped in more and more carbon into the atmosphere and this activity has caused
an increase in the carbon levels in the atmosphere.

Literature Review – Summary (Not Assessed)
When countries talk about carbon emission, the main focus is on the rate of carbon-dioxide
emission. Naturally the CO2 released into the atmosphere in a number of ways. The largest
source of corbondi-oxide in most countries is imbalances in the ocean and in the atmosphere. In
the country listed in the research. There is also a various exchange of carbon-dioxide oceans and
atmosphere. Report also shows that animals have also emitted carbon dioxide through the
process of respiration when this decompose, most organism and soil produce energy which is
emitted in the atmosphere. Several companies are taken into consideration just to demonstrate
the effect that the carbon emission has to the country and to human character. Amgen is a
company that discovers, develops and manufactures innovative therapeutics. Being a
biotechnology company it as to realize the new technology based on the functions and the
environmental needs. It has to adhere t the rules and regulations of the country. In all there
manufacturing processes, they must ensure that the rules and regulation of the country is are
followed.
Theoretical framework
So many firms have come up with reduction initiative aimed at reducing carbon dioxide around
the world simply because carbon dioxide emission is one of the areas that may sabotage a
countries economy. In the year 2015 the United States president announced that there will be
new rules and regulations in place that will serve as a reduction measure of carbon dioxide
reduction in the country. The presidents says that each and every state will have only one year to
amend theirs rules on how they will reduce their emission per megawatts. This strategy will
actually help in having a better environmental strategy. The research design presents a
comparison in way and reasons why countries reduce the rate of carbon emission.
