Knowledge of the fount and the cause of disaster
Article Abstract:
The eruption of carbon dioxide from Lake Nyos, in Cameroon, was centralized in an enormous fountain. Researchers disagree about the eruption mechanism. Some hold that the release of gas was due to high velocity of volcanic gas from under the lake. Others believe that CO2 release was because of decompression of accumulated CO2 under the lake. However, researchers are unanimous that the concentration of dissolved gas can be removed from beneath the lake through installation of artificial vents through pipes.

Implications of recent CO2 emission-limitation proposals for stabilization of atmospheric concentrations
Article Abstract:
Developing countries designated as non-Annex One nations by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should be given carbon dioxide emission targets of around two times preindustrial levels. Developed countries designated as Annex One nations should abide by the emission-limitation proposals prescribed. Carbon emission trading would be advantageous to non-Annex One countries.
