17、 CO2.Recently,most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation of GHG (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to humanrelated activities that the climate is changing.The overconcentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects longte
18、rm climate,with negative impacts on humanity in the foresccable future.Globally performed LCEs therefore,are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change,and as a forerunner to the more advanced,zerocarbon society and renewableenergy economy.Some nations are lowcarbon societies which are

24、 growing issue of peak oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE.6Lowcarbon economy is encouraged for the following reasons except that_.Atoo much greenhouse gas CO2 is releasedBthe overconcentration of greenhouse gases is producing global warmingCit can avoid catastrophic climate changeDl
