Environmental Protection: Global Warming

Environmental Protection Name Institutional Affiliation Environmental Protection Global warming is an issue that is affecting the environment across the world, with studies showing that man-made activities have been responsible for the rapid climate change. To address effectively the challenge of global warming, authorities must significantly minimize the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission that contribute to heat trapping in the atmosphere. It should be noted that there are practical solutions as well as modern technologies that have the capacity of reducing the rate of climate change as well as the challenges associated with global warming (Boyce & Ash, 2018). Furthermore, cap-and-trade is regarded as one of the most appropriate climate policies, both economically and environmental, to minimize the level of emissions. This is done when authorities put a price on the amount of pollution that an organization emits into the environment. Global warming has been a man-made menace that has contributed to climate change due to increased emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. Evidence indicates that global warming leads to heat trappings into the atmosphere, thus compromising its ability to prevent radiation from the sun. Ultimately, excess heat from the sun contributes to the melting of ice and glaciers on the mountains leading to a rise in sea levels (Boyce & Ash, 2018). Global warming can be managed from an individual level when individuals purchase energy-efficient vehicles and support other measures aimed are reducing the use of oil. It can also be managed at the organizational level by reducing the amount of pollution emitted into the environment. This can be done by ensuring that pollutants are recycled before being exposed into the air. Government authorities should also implement the cap-and-trade policy to ensure that organizations place emphasis on minimizing the number of pollutants that are emitted into the atmosphere. For instance, this policy can ensure that companies use renewable energy that is cleaner and this would play a critical role in reducing the level of GHG emission associated with the used of coals and other fossil fuels. The economics of man-made global warming is associated with the benefits, which can be attained when organizations reduce the number of pollutants that are emitted into the atmosphere. Boyce (2018) says that global climate negotiations can play an instrumental role in influencing governments across the world to reduce influence their organizations to reduce the amount of ...
