Environmental Policy What is an Environmental Policy and What We Need To Focus On
Environmental Policy - Expect More - Do More
It is useful for us to consider that environmental policy comprises two major terms: environment and policy. Environment primarily refers to the ecological dimension (ecosystems), but can also take account of the social dimension, or quality of life, and as an economic dimension correlating to resource management. The term policy can be defined as a course of action or principle adopted or proposed by a government, party, business or individual. That leaves us with the combined definition that an environmental policy focuses on problems arising from human impact on the environment, which retro-acts onto human society by having a negative impact on human values such as good health or a healthy, robust environment.
Environmental issues which are typically addressed by standard environmental policies include (but are not limited to) air and water pollution, waste management, ecosystem management, biodiversity protection, and the protection of natural resources, wildlife and endangered species. More recently however, environmental policy has expanded into the communication of environmental issues.

Record Shattering March Heat Wave Surprises Scientists
Record shattering March heat wave sent people to the beaches in droves
Temperatures in the U.S. for the lower 48 states averaged 8.6 degrees above normal for March alone and an astonishing 6 degrees higher than average for the entire first three months of the year 2012, according to calculations made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That by far exceeds, or shatters in our opinion the existing records.
Some meteorologists who have warned about the effects of global warming have become alarmed at the magnitude of how unusual the year has been in the United States. One climate scientist said the record march heat wave is like the weather equivalent of a baseball player on steroids, with old records being obliterated, like the home run records during the big steroid era in major league baseball.

Global Warming Hoax, Global Cooling Myth Exposed
Global Warming Hoax, Global Cooling Myth Exposed
No one with a minimal amount of intelligence can see the global cooling myth or the global warming hoax as nothing more than the propaganda that it is. ‘Merchants of Doubt‘ have been intentionally planting seeds of uncertainty throughout the land, but none come as close to the U.S. in terms of propaganda and denial campaigns. These merchants of doubt are paid well by special interest groups to endlessly question data, dismiss experimental innovation, stress uncertainties, and demand further research. These ‘well paid’ ‘skeptics’ are part of a group that has helped weaken legislation action or brake political momentum on such big issues such as tobacco, acid rain, ozone layer protection and climate change.

Climate Change Science Update State of the Planet – Planet Under Pressure 2012 March 26-29 London UK
Climate Change Science Update State of the Planet - Planet Under Pressure 2012 March 26-29 London UK
In the State of the Planet report, climate scientists described human’s global impact as “The Great Acceleration” and offered an ominous outlook for an uncertain future in a much hotter world.
2,800 climate science experts are meeting at the 4 day Planet under Pressure conference in London, and the Day 1 analysis of the current condition of Earth kicked off the week long review of vital signs, obstacles, and how to proceed forward.
According to the experts in the fields, time is running out rapidly to minimize the risk of setting in motion a series of events which could mean irreversible, long-term climate change and other dramatic changes to Earth’s life support systems, according to climate change scientists speaking at the Planet Under Pressure conference. This unequivocal warning was delivered on the first day of the conference giving the latest readings on the planets vital signs.

Global Warming
Global Warming is a complex chain of processes which can feed on each other once the process has begun
Global warming (GW) which threatens all mankind and the Earth, appears as a chain of processes that stimulate one another by getting into cause and effect contact with global crisis. At the same time, both crises are closely connected with global political crisis – global crisis of democracy as well as crises of field of fundamental human rights and freedoms, world order and political systems. We think that the struggle against each of them separately will not be enough without reviewing these three crises together and attempting their parallel solution simultaneously.
Considering of role of changes taken place in human factor and mind in both GW and global economic development is very important in solution of these problems and prevention of re-occurrence of this type of crises. We consider it important to study the specific connection between GW and human factor which is the most important factor of global democratic crisis and both crises in a scientific way.

Mass Extinction Events Sixth Mass Extinction Event in Oceans from Human Carbon Emissions Likely
Mass Extinction Events Sixth Mass Extinction Event in Oceans from Human Carbon Emissions Likely And Not From A More Likely Source Like This Asteroid Pictured Here
The rate at which oceans are currently acidifying is faster than any rate over the last 300 million years. During that time span, there were four mass extinctions researchers discovered. During those four mass extinction events, the increase in CO₂ in the atmosphere not only warmed the planet but made the oceans more acidic as well. These changes are directly linked with major climate shifts and mass extinction events.
