Politics Behind Climate Change and What Can and Should Be Done Climate change has been a major problem experienced by various countries globally. Many factors contribute to climate change problems experienced including manmade and natural factors. Many researchers in different countries have concentrated on studies with the aim of finding strategies that help in dealing climate change problem. From the increasing climate change problems, many policy questions are arising regarding the methods used in addressing the issue. Different countries have directed more funds, climate professionals, and other resources to the approaches aimed at dealing with the climate change. With such efforts, no significant impact is felt from the commitment (McLean et al., 2016). Additionally, policy matters are the weakest part of all the approaches adopted and implemented when addressing the issue. Some of the questions arising include availability of the policies, their implementation, punishment to the policy offenders, civic education, and the availability of enough funds to enact and implement the policies.

With the increase in problems, many stakeholders are wondering whether the policies to deal with the problems are available. Many policies are enacted and implemented with the aim of dealing with the specific problem. Such a problem and question is not experienced in one country but in different countries globally. Most of the human activities like industries, land cultivation, burning fossils, and many other activities are happening globally without any measure to control such activities (Barker, 2017). Internationally, little...

Responsible individuals and authorities in different countries globally should assess the availability of policies and their impacts when dealing with the problem. If such policies are not adequate or inactive, more policies should be enacted and implemented such that the problem can be addressed to the expected standards.
Although the policies enacted to deal with the climate change problems are available, there is non-commitment in the implementation of the same especially from the major players like China. They have taken long to cut down their industrial emissions. The various human activities experienced fuel the climate change problems without any punishment being imposed on the policy offenders. Strict measures and commitments should be implemented to ensure that the policies available are implemented in different parts of the countries as per the policies available in each country (Shreck & Vedlitz, 2016). In some countries, the punishment posed to the offenders of climate change policy is light because the violation never stops. The responsible individuals and authorities should enact severe punishments, which will deter the policy offenders from committing the same offenses in future.

Civic education regarding the climate change policies is another question arising from the problem. Many people do not understand most of the climate change policies due to lack of civic education especially among the residents in the community. When a policy is enacted regarding any problem or challenge, people should be…

Climate Change Regulation Climate Change Climate is referred to as the weather patterns of a particular area over a long period. Earth climate can be divided into five main groups, which are as follow: Tropical Climate Dry Climate Warm Moderate Climate Cold Moderate Climate Cold Climate Areas close to equator are the hottest as they get regular sunshine while areas close to poles are the coldest as they receive minimum amount of sunshine. There are two main factors

Anthropogenic climate change is that which is dominated by human influences, in particular human contribution to atmospheric composition. It is established that anthropogenic climate change is like to continue for many centuries. The effects of climate change on the planet, and on the U.S., will be far-reaching, affecting all aspects of human life

Climate Change The world's ecological issues have been studied intensely by scientists in various academic disciplines vigorously for many years and have been greatly accelerated in recent decades. The level of understanding about how natural systems on the planet operate has become immensely sophisticated. Although there are still some issues that remain puzzling, on the whole, scientists have a fairly good understanding of the planets natural systems function. In recent years

Where the paper once debated policy options -- which reasonably could include doing nothing -- it now uses intellectually deficient arguments riddled with logical fallacies to debate the subject. The tone has gone from one of applying academically-accepted economics to undermine the policy prescriptions for dealing with climate change, an approach that is intellectually honest but hard to follow for those without an economics background, to simplistic arguments that

Climate changes are occurring in the world that will affect the environment in which we live. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases produce an increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth over time which may produce changes in precipitation patterns, storm severity, and sea level (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010). The main activities that create carbon emissions that affect climate are the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and agriculture. It

2009). At the same time, a careful scientific study that attempted to account for the natural temperature cycle of the Earth, which is mainly driven by oceanic currents, found that even with natural variability accounted for the trend in the twentieth century has been an unrelenting warming trend (Swanson et al. 2009). Discussion These results lead to varying conclusions regarding the causes of global warming and the effects it will have
