Many environmentalists were hoping that the global recession would result in cutting back the emission of greenhouse gases due to the change in the pattern of utilization of various sources. They hoped the global recession indirectly would result in dissipating these harmful gases into the atmosphere. 

There has been an annual increase in the emission of these poisonous gases though there has been a slump in the rate of industrial growth. It may be even expected to rise as some of the renewable energy projects are revived with funds getting diverted to this sector. For huge changes to happen, experts believe that for dramatic changes to occur there should be a sudden drop in the sources of these harmful gases. Also, this needs to happen across the world to see any significant changes. This is not possible until a whole industry shuts down. Furthermore, the impact of recession is found to be more in developed countries than the developing countries. Again, this is expected to be short-lived until the economy starts reviving. 

Scientists do understand that the highly volatile economic conditions affect the accuracy of predictions of short-term emissions. Recession has also resulted in a dip in the fuel prices and hence, it might cancel out on any of the reduction in emissions expected in this sector.

Today, governments are offering economic incentives to cut down the greenhouse gas emissions. Various steps are being taken in order to reduce the contamination and depletion of the natural resources by resorting to alternate sources of energy.
