Global Warming

Paper Summary:

Global climate change is one of the most important environmental challenges facing the world today. The steady, yearly-average temperature increases, measured by scientists worldwide, serve to destroy ozone, which in turn pokes significant holes in the earth's ozone layer. This paper argues that more research must be done, and a clear policy must be put in place in the forthcoming years for industrialized nations to stymie the spread of poor environmental measures that result in the global warming situation.

From the Paper:

"The policy approach has been intriguing. The fear of global warming from an increase in greenhouse gases has become a major science policy discussion during the past fifteen years. Seeking solutions to a number of questions -- How much warming is there?...How soon will it affect us?...Should we even worry? -- a growing number of lawmakers continue to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of an active government role in creating policies to address prospective climate change. How tangible is the human-created global warming threat? Another ten to fifteen years of continued warming might justify the scientific projections, but many researchers warn that waiting for this added insurance might put the Earth's people at risk for a larger dose of climate change than if actions to curb or slow the buildup of greenhouse gases were implemented now."
