Role of IPCC in Setting Climate Change Policy This essay will critically evaluate the role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in setting climate change policy. In order to do this‚ its latest assessment report (IPCC 2007) will be highlighted. The physical science basis of climate change that IPCC relies on in influencing policy on climate change will be reviewed. IPCC’s view of climate change will be shown to be the main stream view of climate change. The essay will also review

Environmental Problem: Climate Change Introduction This report sets out to show that climate change is currently the leading environmental threat to the Earth and requires people to tackle this long-term and global problem with worldwide cooperation. Climate change is the build- up of gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapour and methane in the atmosphere; this means the world is warming (Lewis et al‚ 2004). Pakenham (2004‚ pp.217) states that climate change has chain effects leading to global

Climate change in the Tundra will cause very alarming problems that hold the potential to affect the present generation and those to come. Climate change is an adjustment of global or regional weather patterns. The Tundra has a frigid climate‚ frozen soil‚ and animals such as lemmings and polar bears. Additionally‚ there are flowers and grasses throughout the land. Nutrients for such plants come from dead and decomposing biological matter. Essentially all the precipitation is in the form of snow
