Answer:
D. by 141 countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Explanation:
The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and an international agreement that seeks to reduce the emissions of six greenhouse gases that generate global warming. The gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
The protocol agreed to a reduction of at least 5% of the emissions of these gases in 2008-2012 compared to 1990 emissions. This agreement does not imply that each country committed to reduce its emissions of regulated gases in a 5% as a minimum, but this is a percentage corresponding to a global commitment and each country subscribing to the protocol had its own commitments to reduce emissions.
In Tinker v. Des Moines, the Supreme Court ruled that the wearing of a black armband in protest of the Vietnam War was not a substantial disruption of the school environment and was therefore protected speech.
It is the first major case to determine the speech rights of students.
In Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, the Supreme Court placed a limit on the speech rights of students when it ruled that it was permissible for a school to censor the actions of a school newspaper.
This is important as it provides a limit on the speech rights of students.
At issue in both cases are how the speech is disruptive to the school environment and many cases since then have hinged on the importance of the speech (protest in Tinker v. spreading gossip in Hazelwood) and the manner in which the speech is undertaken.
