Abstract The focus of this paper is on global warming and its causes. In the introduction phase, we have given a brief overview of the problem alongside a brief look at the details of the problem itself. It is mentioned here that how much change has actually recorded in the previous decades and what the future might hold on for the planet if the trend keeps on going as it is right now. It has also mentioned the consequences of rise in temperatures which can result in many different scenarios.

This article analyzes the marginal costs and benefits of a cap and trade policy within the economy, which is a regulation being considered to help lessen emissions of greenhouse gases. The analysis begins with a discussion of what the cap and trade policy and how it works. This is followed by an evaluation of the marginal costs and benefits of the policy and determination of whether marginal costs outweigh benefits.

We have all had the experience of going to the grocery store, picking up a box of cereal or a bunch of bananas, and finding ourselves surprised, or even shocked, at how much more it costs than it had just a week before. Most of us, after that initial surprise, will chalk that rise in prices down to inflation and either put the item back or sigh and put it into our cart, thinking that such increases in price are a natural part of life due to inflation. However, there are a number of other reasons why food prices rise, and one in particular ensures that the prices for basic foodstuffs will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. This paper examines how the price of food will continue to rise in tandem with the rate and degree of climate change. This relationship is a tandem one in that the two conditions will rise together. That is, there is a direct relationship between the two. However, the relationship is rational rather than linear because the rate of increase in climate change and the increase in food costs is not the same.

The effect of the rapid expansion of human society has expanded well beyond our cities into the most inhospitable of domains, the arctic. The arctic ice home to the majestic polar bear is melting at an alarming rate. The food available to the bears diminish along with the ice. Given the present rate of warming it is almost inevitable that this creature would be lost to future generations unless there is immediate action to reverse the effects of climate change.
