Summary

Magnificent piece of statecraft though it is, the Paris Agreement is unlikely to spare us from a future climate reckoning. Paris can be seen as the successor to a series of prior global emissions limitation agreements including the breathtakingly effective Montreal Protocol that addressed the cause of the “ozone hole” and the Kyoto Protocol, the world’s first attempt to address climate change. Kyoto collapsed in failure and Paris was therefore midwifed with the Kyoto lessons in mind. We then delve into the structure, status, and limitations of the Paris Agreement before looking ahead to how it might evolve.

CCl3F (or CFC-11) and CCl2F2 (or CFC-12) were determined in air samples collected, during subsequent summer Antarctic campaigns, in different sampling sites in the Ross Sea Region. The samples were analysed by GC-ECD after enrichment. Data obtained since 1988–89 were plotted to observe the trend of CFCs atmospheric concentration levels. A decrease in the rate of increase of CFC-12 concentration was observed, whilst the concentration of CFC-11 was actually seen to be decreasing.
