How does the climate control us?
Answers
Explanation:
The climate change policy of the United States has major impacts on global climate change and on global climate change mitigation. This is because the United States is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world after China, and is among the countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions per person in the world. In total the United States has emitted over 400 billion metric tons of greenhouse gasses, more than any country in the world.[1]
States that have declared GHG mitigation strategies or hold action plans[when?]
Climate change policy is developed at both the state and federal level.[2] Global climate change was first addressed in United States policy beginning in the early 1950s.[citation needed] The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines climate change as "any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time." Essentially, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, as well as other effects, that occur over several decades or longer.[3]
The politics of climate change have polarized certain political parties and other organizations.[clarification needed] The Democratic Party tends to advocate for an expansion of climate change mitigation policies whereas the Republican Party tends to advocate for inaction or a reversal of existing climate change mitigation policies. Most lobbying on climate policy in the United States is done by corporations that are publicly opposed to reducing carbon emissions.[4]
Answer:
The impacts of climate change include warming temperatures, changes in precipitation, increases in the frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. These impacts threaten our health by affecting the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the weather we experience.
