Annual mean precipitation (%) in Finland in 2000–2085 compared to the average values in 1971–2000, under different Representative Concentration Pathways scenarios. Climate change has far reaching impacts on the natural environment and people of Finland. Finland was among the top five greenhouse gas emitters in 2001, on a per capita basis. [1]
Finland is a member of the EU and thus the EU directives are binding in Finland. Finland has approved Kyoto protocol. Finland has at the state level approved that human-induced greenhouse gases cause global warming.

Counting the Irish diaspora and the forty-eighters, millions of Europeans emigrate to North America, South America, and Australia. 1859 John Tyndall discovers that some gases block infrared radiation. He suggests that changes in the concentration of these gases could bring climate change. [20] 1883 Eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia. The sound ...
Images from the NASA Earth Observatory show a stark drop in pollution in Wuhan, when comparing NO 2 levels in early 2019 (top) and early 2020 (bottom). [15] The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the environment, with changes in human activity leading to temporary changes in air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and water quality.
