I have been narrowing down my questions for the research and have come up with some broad and some more specific ones. they include:
Why didnt the US government sign the agreement?
Who first wrote or had an idea for the agreement (an individual of an organization)?
where US scientists included in drafting this agreement?
If yes (most probably yes) which organizations did they belong to?
List of some invorenmental protection agencie sin US and the world. have they issued an opinion about this agreement? they stand on growing pollution and recommendations for people.
Look for sustainable US businesses or famous NGOs that promote sustainability (NGO because it is related to public affairs and my work experience)
The main challange I am encountering dutrign this research is the pattern of more question sarrising. when i read an article or watch a little documentary about a topic there is a huge amount of information that makes other questions arise. because of this i often find myself forgetting my original question.
For the more specific questions like effects of the pollution and concrete consequences in numbers such as how much it will cost the US government to make a decision toward sustainability, I find conflicting answers. It seems that even experts disagree on the benefits of Kyoto protocol. Some say its great some say it wont make a difference. this brings up a challenge of not being sure if my sources are reliable. Most of the time I can see that the information is from a credited source, however ive been encountering many opinion articles that I dont know if i want to use.
