Limitation Adaptation Limitation is all about reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released to the atmosphere, so limiting the future global warming effect.
Adaptation is about changing our way of life to cope with an increase in the global temperature.
We clearly need to adopt the lmitation approach, but any serious effort to combat the greenhouse effect must combine these two strategies, as global warming has already begun, and will continue for many years because of the amounts of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere. However, no agreements have been reached on this proposal as yet. Every country in the world has agreed to completely stop using CFCs by the year 2000. In 1992, the Earth Summit was held in Brazil, where developed nations were asked to make sure their emissions of greenhouse gases stayed at their 1990 levels until the year 2000. However, this was not a legally binding request, and while the EC has agreed to the proposals, not all the other developed nations have.
