2005 United Nations Climate Change Conference was one of Canada's largest international events ever and the largest gathering in Montreal since Expo 67. The Montreal Action Plan was an agreement to "extend the life of the Kyoto Protocol beyond its 2012 expiration date and negotiate deeper cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions" by starting negotiations, without delay on an extension of the protocol. Canada's environment minister, at the time, Stéphane Dion, said the agreement provides a "map for the future". 2005 United Nations Climate Change Conference The 2005 United Nations Climate Change Conference took place between November 28 and December 9, 2005, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Physical impacts of climate change associated with global warming will tend to stabilize marine gas hydrate deposits. Models have been used to assess the effect that climate change will have on the carbon cycle (Meehl "et al"., 2007:789-790). In the Coupled Climate-Carbon Cycle Model Intercomparison Project, eleven climate models were used. Observed emissions were used in the models and future emission projections were based on the IPCC SRES A2 emissions scenario. Unanimous agreement was found among the models that future climate change will reduce the efficiency of the land and ocean carbon cycle to absorb human-induced CO. As a result, a larger fraction of human-induced
