United States involvement in Climate Change

For this paper you will need to go to the United States of America’s Environmental Protection Agency’s website under Climate Change (https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators) to choose one climate change indicator. The issue should be specific enough to describe and address it in the following ways: Describe the issue in “lay-person” terms and provide definitions for any technical terminology being used. This should be written as if it were to be published in a venue being read by practitioners in the field but also the interested public. Define the issue in terms of its significance to the field (for example, has it always been an issue or is it of greater significance now and why? Is it an issue in the U.S. or developed countries, or western society, or is it universal?) Are there potential ramifications if the issue is not addressed or is left unresolved? Describe various factual and normative arguments surrounding the issue from differing “sides”. You will need at least 4 outside sources to aid in your research. Apply at least 3 ethical theories. This means thoroughly defining each theory with at least 2 separate, credible sources by step explaining how the issue applies or rejects the ethical theory. Identify the prominent representatives of each of the perspectives involved, i.e. who is voicing the argument? What do they represent? What do they base their views upon? What is your position? Support your views with appropriate arguments from those presented. THE MAIN POINT OF THE PAPER IS TO APPLY ETHICAL THEORIES (at least 3) and a total of 5 refences. FOLLOW THE RUBRIC, SYLLABUS GUIDELINES and APA BOOK FOR MAX POINTS. Very important to apply 3 ethical theories and have a separate paragraph for each one. Also very important at least 3 sources need to come from “Fundamentals of Ethics” By Russ-Shafer Landau and “Agricultures Ethical Horizon” By Robert. L Zimdahl
