The landscape
of environmental protection initiatives has continued to evolve, now ranging from
global policy and corporate campaigns to local recycling and energy efficiency programs.
Long ago, Jesse Ausubel, a veteran Rockefeller University analyst
of global resource and
environmental trends, asserted that, «in general, politicians are pulling on disconnected levers» at the intersection
of energy and
environmental policy.
Wagner, the co-author
of a great book on
global warming risk and economics, «Climate Shock,» moved from the
Environmental Defense Fund to Harvard recently to focus full - time on geoengineering
policy.
But there's also the broadest, and most important, question: In the wake
of this unfolding calamity, what is the best approach to building an energy
policy for the long haul that fosters economic progress (as distinct from simple economic growth) while limiting
environmental risks ranging from tainted beaches and fisheries to
global warming?
President - elect Barack Obama sent a video message to a summit meeting on
global warming organized by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
of California, implying that despite the continuing economic turmoil, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will remain a central component
of Mr. Obama's energy,
environmental and economic
policies.
I presume they're alluding to your 2007 white paper, «The Challenge
of Global Warming: Economic Models and
Environmental Policy.»
Below you can read my missive, with e-mail shorthand slightly cleaned up, followed by an exchange this query triggered between Vaclav Smil, the University
of Manitoba analyst
of just about every
global risk and trend, and Lester Brown, who heads the Earth
Policy Institute and has for decades warned
of economic and
environmental unraveling.
At the same time, the State Department is working to slash
global emissions
of potent industrial greenhouse gases called HFCs through an amendment to the Montreal Protocol; the
Environmental Protection Agency is cutting domestic HFC emissions through its Significant New Alternatives
Policy (SNAP) program; and, the private sector has stepped up with commitments to cut
global HFC emissions equivalent to 700 million metric tons through 2025.
-- A pair
of top - notch economists, Robert Stavins
of Harvard University and Richard Schmalensee
of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, urge
policy makers not to discard market - based approaches to
global warming and other
environmental problems because
of the death
of efforts to pass a climate bill centered on a cap - and - trade mechanism for cutting emissions.
Once settled in at my new journalistic home, ProPublica, I plan on digging in further on this and other instances in which the main factors exacerbating
environmental threats are
policies and practices that can be changed promptly, even as the grand challenge
of limiting
global warming is pursued.
But seen the
environmental global CRISIS of GLOBAL WARMING and its devastating climatological impact, I would recommend as an environmental policy - expert that Both NATURAL plankton will be bred in shallow waters as carbondioxide inhibitors in a large volume on the one hand and let nature goes its course in the seas and oceans so that sea - organisms / life - forms / mamals will not become extinct due to (for them) food pois

Climate change is a
global problem with serious
environmental, social, economic, distribution and
policy implications, and make up one
of the main current challenges for humanity.
In the 10th edition
of American Government, published in 2005, the authors discuss four types
of politics that define the government's response to major public concerns such as
environmental policy (limited to several pages in the 600 - page text, less than two
of which are devoted to
global warming).
Current understanding supports the creation
of a Sustainable Development Council within the UN system to integrate social, economic and
environmental policy at the
global level.
The meeting was attended by scientists,
environmental campaigners, engineers and
policy experts aiming to clarify how
global warming might be counteracted either by sopping up heat - trapping carbon dioxide or reducing incoming sunlight in a variety
of ways — a suite
of options known as geo - engineering.
Many important questions
of environmental policy, however, involve inescapably uncertain outcomes... How much
global warming will it take to trigger the irreversible collapse and melting
of the Greenland ice sheet?»
The problem with that statement in this textbook is that these authors misuse it to argue that
environmental policies based on concerns over
global warming are not even worthy
of support.
You say that this uncertainty is used «to argue that
environmental policies based on concerns over
global warming are not even worthy
of support», but it seems to us that it is less the case that your objection is based on an argument made as much as the fact that they outlined a difference
of opinion.
Obama knew that he could never justify his
policies on their own merits so he supported
global warming for fear
of catastrophic climate change was just the cudgel he needed to institute his warped
environmental policies.
In 2011, the
Global Warming
Policy Foundation's website ran the headline «900 + Peer - Reviewed Papers Supporting Skepticism
Of «Man - Made» Global Warming (AGW) Alarm,» listing more than 900 papers which, according to the GWPF, refute «concern relating to a negative environmental or socio - economic effect of AGW, usually exaggerated as catastrophic.&raqu
