What has Singapore done lately to reduce Carbon Emissions to the planet as well as the seas and oceans ?

What has Singapore done lately to reduce Carbon Emissions to the planet as well as the seas and oceans ?


 There are plenty of Climate Change Policies actively taking place in Singapore now.... instead of the Bus transport system, Singapore can consider using the Tram Transport System on the roads, like on the roads of Melbourne, Australia. 


Hope that there will be more import in of Green Vehicles into Singapore so that there will be lesser air pollution and carbon emissions released into the air.... 


CO2 absorbed at the ocean’s surface makes its way to the depths of the ocean, where calcium carbonate helps convert it into bicarbonate.


This whole system has been working fine for millions of years, but human carbon emissions have started to throw it out of whack. Excess carbon dioxide reaching the deep ocean means that the natural system can’t keep up and the stores of calcium carbonate on the seafloor are dissolving. That also means the water at the bottom of the ocean—like the water at the top—is getting more acidic. 


“[The ocean] is doing it’s job just trying to clean up the mess, but it’s doing it very slowly and we are emitting CO2 very fast, way faster than anything we’ve seen since at least the end of the dinosaurs,” Olivier Sulpis, a PhD student at McGill University who led the research, told Earther. “It’s an efficient mechanism. The problem is we are putting too much pressure on the mechanism.”
