This essay aims to first provide a theoretical basis to the reader, explaining the elemental scientific consent about climate change. In the following, the effects of global warming on the environment, the economy and on us citizens will be outlined.
As mentioned above, the main part of this paper is the presentation of the effects global warming has on various sectors, and the analysis of the current climate policy. It is built on this analysis by identifying approaches that not only politics but also, we as consumers can take to limit the effects our lives have of the earth’s environment and climate. The last step is to draw a conclusion and present an outlook.
