Climate Change and Environmental Policies

 

            ,2007), "The United Nations created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 as a think tank for thousands of volunteer scientists to examine global warming and what can be done to avoid it." The IPCC's groundwork based on unpaid experts" to prepare based on available scientific information, assessments on all aspects of climate change and its impacts, with a view of formulating realistic response strategies." (n.d., 2014). "The primary task for the IPCC as outlined in UN General Assembly Resolution 43/53 was to prepare a comprehensive review and recommendations with respect to climate change." (n.d. 2015). The secondary duty is "the social and economic impact of climate change, and possible response strategies and elements for inclusion in a possible future international convention on climate." (n.d., 2014). There are three objectives of my paper are to reconcile articles by detractors Richard Lindzen and Steven Hayward, the role that government should intervene based on the reconciliation of global warming, and economic effects of prescribed government climate policies. Lastly, my paper will give an argument that the Obama's administration's support for a market-based approach to reducing carbon-based consumption to reduce the overall level of carbon-based emissions.
             Reconciliation of Two Articles.
             Lindzen (2010) ad Hayward (2010) disapproved and rebutted the IPCC's declaration involving human involvement to climate change. These authors wrote articles for various United States newspapers and journals rebuking the IPCC. Lindzen and Hayward entailed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control's assumptions climate change are prejudiced, exaggerated, and its computer models are impractical false hypotheses. Reconciling Lindzen and Hayward criticism might expose underlying political prejudice and reasons that are mostly self-serving and not based upon reliable, peer-reviewed systematic evidence.
