Public Administration Case Study: Synthesis and Conclusion
Today, public administrators at every level are confronted with multiple challenges, including the increasing polarization of the body politic as well as existential threats such as global warming due to relentless climate change. Although a consensus exists among the scientific community concerning the reality of climate change, there remains some debate over its precise causes and what can be done to mitigate these trends. Notwithstanding this debate, there is also a growing recognition that fossil fuel emissions are a major cause of climate change, making the need for increased public awareness a major public administration objective. To this end, the purpose of this paper is to review a relevant public administration case study in order to provide an explanation concerning how these challenges impact ethics, statesmanship and governance of public administrators. In addition, these challenges are examined using a biblical/covenantal model of statesmanship, leadership and organizational behavior. Finally, a synthesis of the research and key findings are presented in the conclusion.
Review and Discussion
The objective of a public administration case study by Aydin-G et al. (2018) was to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation and administration of the community-based air pollution awareness course that was specifically designed to help primary school educators teach 122 fourth-grade students about the causes of air pollution and what steps can be taken at the local level to address them in...…highly congruent with a biblical/ covenantal approach to developing solutions to public administration challenges (Fischer & Schultz, 2016). In this regard, Numbers 35:33 (ESV) commands that, You shall not pollute the land in which you live.
Conclusion
The human generations that have populated the earth since the mid-19th century have bequeathed a sad environmental legacy to future generations. Indeed, many environmentalists caution that the tipping point may have already been reached and humankind is doomed. Against this gloomy backdrop, it is apparent that Americans must do everything possible, including educating young people about these issues, to reverse these trends to the maximum extent possible in order to delay and perhaps even reverse the existential threat of climate change for…

Air Pollution: A Testament to Human History Air pollution is woven throughout the fabric of our modern life. A by-product of the manner in which we build our cities, air pollution is waste remaining from the ways we produce our goods, transport ourselves and our goods, and generate the energy to heat and light the places we live, play, and work.."

Air Pollution and Acid Rain Acid rain is now commonly perceived as a major environmental threat but the term is still relatively new and many are confused about its causes. While there are some other commonly cited reasons including natural sources, the main cause of acidity in rain is air pollution, which increases the composition of sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides and thus lowering the pH level to less than 7.
Air pollution remains one of the most urgent and serious problems facing the world today. Research studies conducted in the past have clearly indicated that in addition to harming the environment, the effects of air pollution on human health are particularly adverse. In this text, I discuss air pollution, its causes, and effects. Further, I propose solutions that could be embraced to rein in the problem of air pollution. Air Pollution:
Whereas the level of air pollution in Canada is smaller than the ones in other countries, it can still be considered to play an important role in the tourist industry. People generally come to the country thinking about fresh mountain air and no pollution. However, if one of those wanting to visit Canada would have came across the information that, in 2007 alone, air pollution in Toronto was responsible
The incinerators produce a cocktail of toxic chemicals that can cause cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems, immune system defect, increased allergies and birth defects" (3). Green Peace suggests sustainable waste management as an alternative to industrial incinerators. The Sierra Club identifies coal burning power plants as major contributors to air pollution. "Out of the entire electric industry, coal-fired power plants contribute 96% of sulfur dioxide emissions, 93% of nitrogen oxide
Air Pollution In "Schwarzenegger slams GOP-led bills to block pollution rules," Geman (2011) addresses Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's reaction to the recent potential threats to the Clean Air Act. Congress is "attacking" the Clean Air Act, according to Schwarzenegger, with "more than a dozen proposals in Congress to limit enforcement of our clean-air rules, create special-interest loopholes, and attempt to reverse scientific findings." According to the governor, the Clean Air Act has
