¡¡¡¡A Low£­Carbon Economy(LCE)or Low£­Fossil£­Fuel Economy(LFFE)is an economy which has a smallest output of greenhouse gas(GHG)release into the atmosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas 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 human£­related activities that the climate is changing£®The over£­concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long£­term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future£®Globally performed LCEs therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a forerunner to the more advanced, zero£­carbon society and renewable£­energy economy£®

¡¡¡¡Some nations are low£­carbon societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated£®In order to avoid climate change at any point in the future, all nations considered carbon£­thick societies and societies which are heavily populated, should become zero£­carbon societies and economies£®Several of these countries have promised to become ¡°low carbon¡± but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that release will be cut by 100£¥ by offsetting release rather than stopping all release£®In other words, some release will continue which will be offset, so they are not low£­release£®

¡¡¡¡Nations seek to become low£­carbon economies as part of a national global warming reductionstrategy£®A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming is carbon neutrality, geoengineering andadaptation to global warming£®

¡¡¡¡Nuclear power, or, the proposed strategies of carbon collection and storage(CCS)have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non£­renewable resources; there is concern, however, with the matter of spent£­nuclear£­fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs and time needed to successfully carry out CCS worldwide and with guarantees that the stored release will not leak into the atmosphere£®Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high£­cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times£®Furthermore, regardless of the effect to the atmosphere by GHG releases, the growing issue of peak oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE£®

¡¡¡¡For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World£®We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar£®But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down£®

¡¡¡¡At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week£®Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car£®After many phone calls, John finally found a car£®Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab£®We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule£®We tried every ride and met Mickey£®

¡¡¡¡At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car£®It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again£®He found it would cost more than ¡ç l, 100 to rent a car to drive home£®That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over ¡ç2,000!

¡¡¡¡I wailed(Í´¿Þ)and asked John, "What are we going to do?" He said, "It'll work out£®" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out£®Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home£®

¡¡¡¡When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was£®I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia£®" "No problem," he said£®"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents£®We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car£®"

¡¡¡¡We ended up spending only ¡ç50 more than we'd budgeted£®The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble£®Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last£®
