Stage 1: THE PROBLEM SITUATION: UNSTRUCTURED In this stage we will explicitly argue the impacts of

Modernism represents an optimistic view of human impact on the environment that has been the dominant viewpoint for the last 200 years. The knowledge that mankind holds the ability to control the environment heavily stresses why climate change is not such a problem to worry about. One of the core beliefs of the modernistic perspective is that people have no need to fear future environmental disaster because the next technological advancement that will prevent it is right around the corner. Furthermore, those who share this view do not include themselves in their image of the ecosystem, believing they are detached from it. Lastly, a laissez-faire approach is taken to environmental problems, focusing on progression through technology, stressing that as long as progress is made in this area all problems will be fixed. For a modernist, climate change is nothing to worry about. This may be a real situation, but it will be solved with advancements in technology before one’s way of life is changed. What people should be worrying about is ensuring a laissez faire approach to the market with sponsorship to new technologies. As a result of reusable energy technology already existing, modernists believe that the problem of climate change has been solved and without disrupting free market system these technologies will be further implemented. As long as there are people given the opportunity to innovate, some will focus on and ultimately solve the concern of climate change. The issue of

There are many interpretations as to what defines a learning organization. But taking the sage

Usually when you read dystopian novels they take place far into the future or on a different planet, something Orwellian. We as a society, like to think this is what will happen if we continue to behave a certain way. Since the projections in these novels and pieces are so farfetched, nobody ever stops to compare it to the world today. However, Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth, states the harsh realities of the world’s current condition and the devious schemes of wealthy corporations. Global warming is perhaps the most frequent issue televised about the world today. It’s known that this ‘climate change’ is a product of greenhouse gases and the burning of fossil fuels; something of which is done by humans. Solutions and conservation strategies have been

There are six stages based on this strategy: Stage one consists of the development of an operational statement of the problem. It is an initial assessment and is like a foundation of other stages. State two of determination of what is known through the literature based on scientific research.Stage three deals with the quantification of the problem. Stage four involves the development of policy or

I was aware of the existence of global warming but I lacked the information to know to what extent it was and I think that is part of the problem. Although I have had some environmental experience working with organizations such as Ocean Force and I Love a Clean San Diego (ILACSD) I had no idea of the effects our habits had on the climate. It is work like this that awakens action in many people to do something for the earth. It is rooted that with knowledge comes power and I believe that if more of the public were to become educated on the topic, society would become more involved on the issue.“Unless we aggressively reduce today's emissions, our heated future ahead might be inevitable (Arndt

The approach of the natural step is to have sustained by creating different strategies in order to have a healthy and to continue the process. There are four phases of the program: stakeholders should have a common understanding and common decision to be able to meet sustainability,

Climate change is the topic of a heated debate, but not for the reasons one might gather from the media. Religious groups, politicians and tycoons get a fair share of their air time and contribute to the popular impression that the facticity of global warming, its causes and implications are not yet settled. When we turn to the scientific community, however, the picture looks completely different. Very few people conducting research related to climate change seriously doubt that the planet is warming. Nor do they doubt that it is caused by human activity. This does not mean, however, that there is no room for disagreement. Rather, that it is located elsewhere. The paper will proceed in three parts and will argue that, first, the real question is not the reality of climate change but rather its intensity. The question, in other words, is not whether but by how much the climate will change. Second, it will show that the anthropogenic nature of climate change should no longer be a matter of contention. Third, and finally, the paper will touch on perhaps the most difficult issue climate change makes us face: how to measure its risks and effects. Unlike the reality and the cause of global warming, impact assessment is a much more open ended issue because it essentially requires value judgments. It is argued, however, that, although this problem cannot be resolved once and for all, there has been movement in the right direction.

Over the years, global warming has gradually become a more renowned and controversial topic, some say Global warming has been incited by human activity, so humans should take action to slow down global warming, others say global warming happens naturally so there’s no use of stopping it, while some others don’t even know that Global Warming is happening. Many groups of people within different nations have different opinions of global warming correspondingly having various way of buffering the situation. The aim of my essay is to research and learn about the attitudes and actions of different

Thesis Statement (Central Idea): Today I would like to share my thoughts on one of the most heated topic of 21st century which is global warming, alongside its cause and its mitigation alternatives.

THESIS: From the findings of experts on Global Warming and Climatology, it can be concluded that Global Warming has a direct effect on our current global economy and the instability of the future.

In recent years, the controversial subject of global warming has been more predominantly brought to our attention. Is the threat of global warming real? Is it man-made or is this just a natural cycle of earth? Does it really affect earth’s inhabitants? Should action be taken against it? If so, what kind and to what extent? It cannot be only a coincidence that the alarmingly rapid climate change coincides perfectly with the increased amount of pollutants that humans release into the environment. The once stable climate has in recent years begun to skyrocket, thus altering the delicate structure of earthly life. This proves to be hazardous to the future of the planet; some people worry that many of the resources the environment provides that

Scientists do not argue that increases in greenhouse gas concentration have some relationship to higher average temperatures. The consequences of further global warming are hotly contested still and stir widespread debate and disagreement. In fact, arguments over the existence of a natural cycle of climate change and climate change induced by human activity are considerably prevalent. Arguments for both beneficial and detrimental consequences of further global warming are wide-ranging. Because the plethora of arguments contributes heavily to the paralyzation of the international community it is prudent to survey some of the arguments.

The model I configured comprises six stages in the process. I chose to begin my model with the task of recognizing the problem or opportunity. Next, it is time to think about the problem or opportunity and to answer a few questions about the information at hand, what other questions I need to ask, and how am I framing the problem or opportunity. Once this information is gathered, then I move on to the plan. In this phase, I need to confirm the timeframe for the decision, short-term or long-term as well as formulate and evaluate my options. My progress through the model takes me to the fundamental step of the act, choosing the best option and making the decision. I resolved that I didn’t want to end the process at the decision, but determined that it was advantageous to know if the decision achieved the desired outcome and did I follow the process as outlined. The sixth and final step is a simple reminder for me to continue to repeat the decision making process. A diagram of the model is presented below.

This paper is intended as a starting point for creating a framework within which to discuss and analyze what appears to be a substantial change in worldwide climate. It is essentially a synthesis of three books: (1.) an inconvenient truth, the crisis of global warming, written by Al Gore (2007), (2.) At Home

When one encounters the concept and idea of global warming, we inquire a wide range of opinions, facts, assumptions, and philosophies. As the general population of the world, the idea
