Experts at the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) found that global emissions will be 9 per cent below the expected mark in 2012 due to the credit crunch.
Health Effects of Global Warming
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

Professor Andy Gouldson, co-author of the report at the University of Leeds, said: "Our results show that although the downturn is likely to cause a measurable decrease in global emissions, it will only delay temporarily the relentless rise in emissions that we have seen over the past few decades.
"If we return to 'business as usual' emissions after the economic crisis is over, the profound and severe risks of climate change impacts will continue to grow.
