International Implications of Global Climate change

International Implications of Global Climate change   It will be difficult for all countries to develop a consensus on dealing with a climate change, partly because global climate change will clearly have greater impacts on some nations than on others. Tensions have increased among nations, especially between the highly developed and developing countries, over their differing self-interests. Highly developed nations have huge amounts of infrastructure at risk; the developing countries have less technical expertise and fewer economic resources, they are going to be least able to respond to the challenges of global climate change.
Ozone Depletion and Acid Deposition 
  Lakes may be more susceptible to damage from UV radiation. The combined effects of acid deposition and climate warming may increase the extent to which the UV radiation penetrates the lake water. The increased UV penetration will disrupt photosynthesis in algae and aquatic plants and skin lesions in fishes. Acid deposition also affects the amount of dissolved organic compounds in the lake. The removal of organic acids from the water will allow more UV radiation tp penetrate.
