DOES GLOBAL WARMING REQUIRE INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION? IF SO, HOW? WHO IS TO BLAME FOR CLIMATE CHANGE?
OUTLINE
Thesis:
The rising effects of climate change is a call to duty for countries across the globe. It is incumbent upon countries around the world to unite and take action such as cutting on carbon emissions, afforestation, and carbon sequestration to curb climate change.
Major Content:
Among the issues this research paper plans to address include,
What is global warming and climate change?
Is global warming a recent phenomenon or it’s been around since ages?
How can one tell that global warming is that global warming is a fact or fiction?
What are some of the effects of global warming?
After proving the existence of global warming this paper will dig further to figure out if global warming requires international intervention.
How should the world fight global warming?
Should countries and international bodies join their arsenals to win this fight? Should organizations such as the United Nations, the African Union, and others make global warming a priority and solicit measures to combat it?
Or are individual countries like Ghana and the United States capable of successfully dealing with global warming?
If it turnout that global intervention is the best way to combat global warming,
How should it be done? Should it be through global laws and regulations that would force every country to comply or through global treaties and accords that are only binding on countries that sign them?
What resources must the world sacrifice to win the fight against global warming?
Is there opportunity cost associated with using these resources in the fight against global warming? Analyze these cost
What are some of the sets back (challenges) that must be circumvented to in other
Who is to make the biggest sacrifice (how should the cost of fighting global warming be apportioned? Should Ghana and
