Climate changes and the vision of Europe

An artists visio about the climate change
Did you know that the experts are on the viewpoint that by the year 2071 every second year there may take place a heatwave, what is equal with event happened in 2003, what caused the death of approx 22 000 European people.
The heatwaves are caused by the big amount of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What does the EU do to solve the greenhouse gase problem?
The union has started several initiatives to execute the Kyoto assignments. In the year 2000 the comission started the European climate change programme, where are ordained the most useful European strategies and measures. The most effective and innovative element is the European greenhouse gas quota swapping what came into force 1. January 2005. This unique system subsumes 11 500 industrial enterprises. Each source of greenhouse gas has a limited right to cast greenhouse gas every year. The opportunity to trade with the quotas lets the enterprises to reduce the amount of casted greenhouse gases with the most successful way.
It is all very nice but Europe is reducing the greenhouse gases whereas the rest of the world is enlarging them. Where is the wider point of the EU action when the rest of the world does not come along.
Great goals have been set but alone Europe can't to anything. In my mind the EU has failed with attracting other countries to the plan of reducing the greenhouse gases.
