SS 2600 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Carbon Footprint, Water Scarcity, 2Degrees
Document Summary
Climate change has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. The planet is warming at an alarming rate, and the effects of this change are already being felt around the world. Given the scale of the problem and the urgency of the situation, it is essential that governments take the lead in addressing climate change. In this essay, i will argue that climate change should be a governmental issue. Firstly, climate change is a global problem that requires collective action. Individual actions, such as reducing our carbon footprint, are important, but they are not enough to address the scale of the problem. Governments have the power to set policies and regulations that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote the use of renewable energy, and encourage sustainable practices. These actions can have a significant impact on reducing global emissions, but they must be implemented on a large scale to be effective.
