Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation

Among the most controversial topics inphysical science, global warming has received a great deal of attention duringthe past decade. Given its great impact on both humans and the environment,lawmakers and scientists must heavily weigh the information that they arepresented. Explore this debate in more detail by evaluating both the scientificbasis of this phenomenon and the human role in global warming.Write a three to five (3-5) page paper inwhich you:Compare and contrast natural versusanthropogenic climate changes. Include at least two (2) specific examples ofeach.Take a position as to whether or not globalwarming is taking place. Provide three (3) lines of evidence to support yourposition.Assess two (2) current mitigation strategiesfor global warming, such as carbon sequestration, carbon taxing, clean coaltechnology, higher fuel efficiency standards, and so on. Analyze theeffectiveness of this mitigation strategy, as well as its potential costs andpolicy implications.Speculate on the policy changes that youwould propose to help stabilize global climate and determine the businesssectors or nations that would be held to more strict standards if you were toimplement your proposed policies.Use at least four (4) quality resources inthis assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do notqualify as quality resources.Your report must follow these formattingrequirements:Be typed, double spaced, using Times NewRoman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations andreferences must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professorfor any additional instructions.Include a cover page containing the title ofthe assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, andthe date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the requiredassignment page length.The specific course learning outcomesassociated with this assignment are:Apply concepts in physical sciences toevaluate current trends and issues in the modern world.Describe the physical processes influencingclimate and weather.  Use technology and information resources toresearch issues in physical sciences.Write clearly and concisely about physicalsciences using proper writing mechanics.
