Climate Change Regulation

Shifts in climate systems are known as climate change. Studies worldwide demonstrated that the changes in climate patterns are affecting entire ecosystems, humans groups, and animals. The forces of human and nature are direct causes of climate change. Humans recognize climate change when temperatures suffer extreme patter variations, rainfall, wind, and snow patterns lasts for years. Humans also release toxic gases into the atmosphere done by combusting fuel fossil used at home, industry, and other activities. Transportations are one of the most important of the most important contributor to air and water pollution causing changes in climate pattern variations. Humans good consumption demands the use of energy and many companies rely on forests that help to develop agriculture, farming, and develop ways to invest in infrastructure that also release greenhouse gases. Natural forces as earth orbit, ocean movement, sunlight getting into the planet, and the waken forces of volcanoes may contribute to climate change that even with shifts of precipitation systems, ice met at the poles, and sea level water rise become noticeable worldwide. The change in climate patters can generate negative reactions in human’s health, air, and water pollution will increase.

Viewpoints on Climate Change

Viewpoint on climate change are a few, individuals can rely on the ideas of environmental worldview, western worldview, deep ecology worldview base on utilitarian, and biocentrism philosophies. Environmental ethics are extremely important because allowed people to understand a recognized the importance of their actions and how these actions affect the relationship between humans, and the environment. Through the implementation of ethics people can adopt responsible attitudes toward nature.

Environmental ethics “A field of applied ethics that considers the moral bass of environmental responsibility and the appropriate extent of this responsibility,” (Peter H. Raven, 2010, p. 43).

The environmental worldview is complex because it is possible to find individuals who disagree in their position on the world and their role when interacting with the environment, plants, animals, and land. The three groups can be affected by the interpretation that humans give to their perspective of this world. It will be visible the importance of environmental
