Abstract
Contains main elements of a summary, mentions the objectives and conclusions reached, as well as explains
the different topics that are going to mention.
Highlights the main feature to analyze on the carbon lock-in, trying to draw attention to controversial issues,
but in turn not giving enough information for the reader to want to continue reading, in many summaries it is
recommended to write in a general way, not directly referring to the authors doing an action, which happens
in this summary, on the other hand is named the main theme and the three sections in which it is divided,
which gives a general idea of how the paper was handled.
Conclusions
In conclusion, presettle the different points and the result to which was reached with each of them, however,
mention that changing different attitudes is also achieved to see the possibility of declining emissions or
waiting for time in which it is beneficial to do it is possible, they generalize the subject, but do not reach a
central point or specific conclusion, repeating what the document already says, but not reaching an end point.

Discussion
There are different reasons why it is difficult to end the emission of gases, the separation of the main problems
or involved is very good, because it helps to separate causes or cases in which it has been difficult to end this,
in some parts it gives responsibility to institutions or governments, which is very true, but in turn underscores
the importance of individual change. this seems to me that makes the paper a complete job, because it does
not specifically blame someone but distributes responsibility at all, not only mentioning it, also explaining the
reasons, which makes the issue is related and at the same time justified.

References
It seems to me a very complete work, because of this I can get more information, I was struck by links that
present as references used or information but when trying to enter one, this leads to a page where the
information indicated is no longer found, on the other hand the references have a variety of topics, some not
as focused or specific as indicated in the paper, this helps to find some information, with this people are able
to learn more.

Your Critical Review

The separation of themes seems appropriate to me, however the topic promises to present the reasons why
there are higher emissions and what we do to make it worse or improve this, But it focuses more on how we
make it worse and what prevents us from getting ahead, they mention some possible solutions but the good
aspects are not enough, I think that after presenting the problem, one would have to say a possible solution,
it would give way for people to try it, however every time they talked about solutions The first thing that was
named are reasons why they don't work, on one hand it is good to make known the main problems but the
paper could help to encourage positive change in a better way. For the presentation of the problems or what
is expected in the future, everything has a relationship and sense, It is difficult to create new habits or to imply
that changing certain traditions is not destroying culture, is to save the future, Since many customs are
polluting, it seems to me that he handled well the presentation of all the causes and points, it is a very complex
topic of which we are all part of the change or persistence.
