    Summary of the research paper:

    7 pages in length. Damage control - rather than prevention - has historically been the approach to addressing environmental impact caused by human activity. Despite knowing well before the crisis point what potential problems are inherent to, for example, automobile emissions, the powers that be and their equally powerful lobbyists successfully blocked any and all attempts to rectify the damage already done. Now with that crisis point looming, it has become politically correct for environmental issues to be at the forefront of contemporary issues in an ever-urgent quest to stave off -- not necessarily undo -- what may be the single-most detrimental impact of man's self-serving perspective. As such, the best approach is one that reduces waste, minimizes toxic exposure for workers, optimizes materials, improves product local and global competitiveness as well as enhances an organization's image of social responsibility - all within a cost-effective manner. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

II. BACKGROUND  Who knows where the worlds gluttonous energy appetite will lead in the coming decades, with the overextended use of fossil fuels, the ever-growing dependency upon Middle Eastern crude oil and  the escalating and irreparable damage being done to the environment reflecting the most critical components of an energy love affair that shows no signs of slowing. The worlds relationship  with energy is far greater than simply illuminating a room or fueling a vehicle. Indeed, the extent to which energy incorporates itself into virtually every facet of human existence  is both grand and far-reaching; that such global components as air and water quality, life quality and expectancy, infant mortality, food quality and availability, the economy, war and terrorism are  directly related to the presence - or absence - of energy speaks to a commodity that has become a global bargaining tool with many strings attached.  Emission scenarios are a necessary component of future climate predictions because they establish a basis upon which future outcome may or may not occur.
